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).

Calendar

 A schedule detailing legislative items ready or nearing readiness for chamber discussion; also, the official compilation containing these schedules and other details regarding the status of bills and related matters. The House maintains four such schedules, published together; the Senate issues two.
