4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
VETO, legislation. This is a Latin word signifying, I forbid.
2. It is usually applied to the power of the president of the United
States to negative a bill which has passed both branches of the legislature.
The act of refusing to sign such a bill, and the message which is sent to
congress assigning the reasons for a refusal to sign it, are each called a
veto.
3. When a bill is engrossed, and has received the sanction of both
houses, it is transmitted to the president for his approbation. If he
approves of it, he signs it. If he does not, he sends it, with his
objections, to the house in which it originated, and that house enter the
objections on their journals, and proceed to reconsider the bill. Coast. U.
S. art. I, s. 7, cl. 2. Vide Story on the Const. Sec. 878; 1 Kent, Com. 239.
4. The governors of the several states have generally a negative on the
acts of the legislature. When exercised with due caution, the veto power is
some additional security against inconsiderate and hasty legislation, or
where bills have passed through prejudice or want of due reflection. It was,
however, mainly intended as a weapon in the hands of the chief magistrate to
defend the executive department from encroachment and usurpation, as well as
a just balance of the constitution.
5. The veto power of the British sovereign has not been exercised for
more than a century. It was exercised once during the, reign of Queen Anne.
Edinburgh Rev. 10th vol. 411, &c.; Parke's Lectures, 126. But anciently the
king frequently replied Le roy s'avisera, which was in effect withholding
his assent. In France the king had the initiative of all laws, but not the
veto. See 1 Toull. art. 39; and see Nos. 42, 52, note 3.
