| | Veto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The veto power in the United States Constitution was derived from the British method of Royal Assent. | | | In Westminster Systems and most constitutional monarchies, the power to veto legislation by withholding the Royal Assent is a rarely-used reserve power of the monarch, representative of the monarch, or figurehead president who has replaced the monarch. | | | Some states in the United States have granted their governors the additional power of a line-item veto. |

| | In this case the bill is finally lost, just as a bill would be which had been rejected by the colonial council, or as a bill passed by the English houses of parliament would be if the crown were to exert the prerogative of refusing the royal assent. | | | The state of things is therefore, in fact, as follows: it is not the German emperor, but the same monarch as king of Prussia, who has the right of veto against bills and decisions of the federal council, and therefore can prevent the passing of an imperial law. | | | If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that house shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and, if approved by twothirds of that house, it shall become a law. |

| | UN Security Council Veto Power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It is also often alleged that veto power, particularly that of the United States, has undermined the strength and authority of the United Nations Security Council. | | | The United Kingdom used its veto power, along with France, to veto a resolution to resolve the Suez Canal crisis in 1956. | | | This has been a constant cause of friction between the General Assembly and the Security Council (see United States and the United Nations). |

| | Legal Definition of Veto |
| | 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. | | | In France the king had the initiative of all laws, but not the veto. |

| | Heckler's Veto |
| | In First Amendment law, a heckler's veto is the suppression of speech by the government, because of [the possibility of] a violent reaction by hecklers. | | | The concept of ignoramus's veto was also adopted in a case decided in a neighboring circuit. | | | Note that, to a lawyer familiar with the First Amendment law, the phrase "heckler's veto" means something different than the plain English interpretation of the words suggests. |

| | Governor Kathleen Sebelius today vetoed the state's concealed carry bill, an action that was widely expected. | | | The bill would have required the attorney general's office to issue a concealed-carry permit to any Kansan over 21 who passed a background check, satisfied the training requirements, and paid a $150 fee. | | | Today's veto leaves Kansas, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisconsin as the only states that completely prohibit concealed carry. |

| | Schwarzenegger will veto gay marriage bill - Politics - MSNBC.com |
| | A state appeals court is considering appeals of a lower court ruling earlier this year that overturned Proposition 22 and a 1978 law that first formally defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. | | | Proposition 22 stated that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” The bill to be vetoed by Schwarzenegger would have defined marriage as a civil contract between “two persons.” | | | “Any girlie man could have vetoed this legislation,” she said, referring to a term Schwarzenegger used previously to mock Democratic legislators. |

| | Presidential Vetoes - Office of the Clerk |
| | The other type of veto is a "pocket veto." This veto is actually an absolute veto that cannot be overridden; it becomes effective when the President fails to sign a bill after Congress has adjourned and is unable to override the veto. | | | It is effective in directly preventing the passage of legislation undesirable to the President, and the threat of a veto can bring about changes in the content of legislation long before the bill is ever presented to the President. | | | The "regular veto" is a qualified negative veto, which is limited by the ability of Congress to muster the necessary two-thirds vote of each House for constitutional override. |

| | The pocket veto is based on the constitutional provision that a bill fails to go into operation if it is unsigned by the president and Congress goes out of session within ten days of its passage; the president may effectively veto such a bill by ignoring it. | | | The British crown's technical veto power over acts of Parliament has not been exercised since 1707. | | | The president's veto power is limited; it may not be used to oppose constitutional amendments, and it may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress. |
