Chap. CXXXI.— An Act *to regulate the Veto Power in the Territory of Washington.* June 17, 1864. *Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Stales of America in Congress assembled*, That every bill which shallVeto power of the governor of Washington Territory. have passed the legislative assembly of Washington Territory shall, before it become a law, be presented to the governor. If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections, to that house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it.
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 two thirds of that house it shall become a law. But in all such cases the votes of both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the governor within live days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the legislative assembly by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law.
Approved, June 17, 1864.
