Veto

Executive rejection of a legislative proposal or joint resolution submitted for legal approval. Should an executive reject a measure, it can attain legal status only if the House and Senate individually vote (by a two-thirds majority) to overturn the rejection. An alternative type of executive rejection – an indirect rejection – happens if the legislature has concluded its session and cannot reconvene, and the executive fails to approve the legislative proposal within the mandated ten-day timeframe (excluding Sundays).

10 Amendment Meaning

 The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights means that any powers that are not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited from being exercised by state governments, are reserved for state governments or the people themselves. The amendment reinforces the principle of federalism, ensuring that states retain authority over matters not explicitly assigned to the national government.
