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).

11 Amendment Meaning

 The Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution limits individuals' ability to sue states in federal court. It specifically prohibits federal courts from hearing cases where a state is sued by citizens of another state or by foreign citizens. This amendment was enacted to clarify and restrict federal court jurisdiction over state issues.
