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).

19 Amendment Meaning

 The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution forbids the refusal of the right to vote to individuals based on gender, thus providing women with the lawful right to vote. It was confirmed on August 18, 1920, following a prolonged fight for women's voting rights in the United States.
