- Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
The board of trustees shall consist of the president and trustees and, except as otherwise provided in this Code, shall exercise the same powers and perform the same duties as the city council in cities. It shall pass ordinances, resolutions, and motions in the same manner as a city council. The president of the board of trustees may exercise the same veto power and powers in Section 3.1-40-30, and with like effect, as the mayor of a city. The trustees may pass motions, resolutions, and ordinances over the president’s veto in like manner as the alderpersons of a city council.
