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).

Daily Summary

It also enumerates the measures slated for consideration during each chamber’s forthcoming meeting and the notifications of impending committee gatherings. The Summary is located at the end of each daily Record. Its pages are individually numbered and prefixed by the letter D. In the compiled Congressional Record, all Daily Summaries for a session are published in a distinct volume.
