In respect to American government, although equally true in many other political contexts, the use of the presidential veto can be a sign of executive weakness for a number of reasons. Perhaps most importantly, it indicates lack of presidential influence over congressional proceedings during the actual law-making process -- and perhaps a larger problem of disunity between aims and goals of the executive and legislative branches as a whole.
Our turning point was the use of the veto by Andrew Jackson. Jackson was the first to veto acts of Congress for the sole reason that he was against them. Before Jackson, presidents only used the veto on acts they believed to be unconstitutional .
PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT THE DOLLAR SIGN CAME INTO USE FROM A DESIGN MARKED ON OLD SPANISH COINS CALLED PIECES OF EIGHT. THESE PEICES OF EIGHT WERE USED BY AMERICANS as dollars until they coined their own silver coins. one side of the piece of eight had 2 pillars stamped on it, with a ribbon curling on them. the dollar sign formed by the ribbon probably inspired the dollar sign
Legislative - override a veto, impeach presidentExecutive - the Executive Branch is in charge of the administrative aspect of the government. It supervises the operations of the different departments such as Finance, Social Welfare, Defense and others. It has direct control over the local governments units to ensure that the needs of the people are attended to by the public servants.Judicial - decides if laws are constitutional.They use the powers that the Constitution gave them to check up on one another. By this, I mean that for example, the Legislative Branch makes the laws. The Executive Branch enforces the laws. These are both the main responsibilities of these branches. If the Legislative Branch makes a law and then the Executive Branch says that they are not going to enforce it, that is an example of checks and balances.
In 1970,they issued a boycott that convinced most table grape growers to sign contracts with the UFWOC.
Electricity was first used in the White House in 1891. The president of that time was Benjamin Harrison. Apparently, he and his First Lady feared electrocution and always had a member of the Presidential staff turn the lights on and off.
checks and balances
The US president.
If the bill is vetoed, Congress has one more opportunity to pass the bill, by overriding the presidential veto. This requires two-thirds vote in favor of passage in both the Senate and the House, a margin substantially more difficult to achieve than the simple majority vote required prior to presidential veto.
Using the veto indicates that the President disagrees with Congress and that Congress was willing to pass a law they against the President's wishes.
A presidential veto is a procedure the president can use to express is disapproval of a particular bill presented to him for his signature. Congress can override his veto only by a two-thirds vote in both houses of congress.
Alienation of the public was the result of Andrew Jackson's frequent use of the veto. It also cost his party's next candidate to lose the next presidential election.
Veto is a word for rejecting a specific action. It is usually performed by a chief officer who has the power to override a committee's proposed action. "The President threatened to veto the Congressional bill if it was not changed."The governor wants to veto the bill.The senate will override the veto.
i will veto you hehe :P
The President may use a regular veto, pocket veto, and line item veto.
what circumstances might the president use a pocket veto
They might use one when they don't want to sign a bill or veto it directly, so they just let it sit. It would be more a political decision that the president doesn't want to be either for or against the bill for one reason or another.
Once the President receives a bill from Congress there are several things which can happen. If he agrees with it, he can sign it into law. If he agrees with parts of it but not others, he can veto it and send it back with recommendations for changes. He can sign a bill, but express his opinion if he feels that the bill intrudes on his ability to use his executive power. He can also issue a pocket veto, by taking no action at all within the ten days during which a bill must either be passed or vetoed.
