Sam Brownback 's R veto of legislation that repealed tax cuts Brownback had signed in Legislators' successful override came after several months of intra-party and inter-party conflict within the Republican-controlled Kansas Legislature.

Conservative Republicans aligned with Brownback argued that a rollback would amount to a tax hike and hurt the economy. Democrats supported repealing the tax cuts but, in some cases, voted alongside conservatives because they felt that additional tax revenue beyond a repeal of the tax cuts was needed or because of attached legislation related to school funding. The original rates were 6. The legislation dropped those rates to 4.

It also established state income tax exemptions for more than , farmers and business owners throughout Kansas. On June 5, the House voted to remove the tax exemptions, bring back a third tax bracket, and raise income tax rates 5. The Senate voted for the bill This is bad for Kansas and bad for the many Kansans who would have more of their hard-earned money taken from them. Included among the yes votes for the override were eight House Republicans and six Senate Republicans who unseated Republican lawmakers aligned with Brownback in the primary elections.

In February , the Legislature passed a similar bill to rollback the tax cuts, but Brownback vetoed it. In response, the House voted to override the veto. The Senate voted to override Brownback, which was three votes shy of the 27 needed for the override to pass.

Following the elections, Kansas was one of 25 Republican state government trifectas. Republicans had an majority in the House and a majority in the Senate.

Denney upholding Gov. Butch Otter's veto of a repeal of the statewide grocery tax passed by the Republican-controlled Idaho Legislature in the waning days of the legislative session. The case considered the parameters of the governor's power to issue post-adjournment vetoes. Otter issued his veto after the Legislature adjourned and, because the Idaho Constitution does not allow legislators to call for a special session to override vetoes, the veto was permanent.

The grocery tax repeal passed the state House and the state Senate Both vote margins exceeded the two-thirds threshold needed to override gubernatorial vetoes in Idaho, which is 47 of the 70 members in the Idaho House of Representatives and 24 of the 35 members in the Idaho State Senate if all members are in attendance.

Following the elections, Republicans had a advantage in the state Senate and a advantage in the state House. The grocery tax repeal veto was challenged by 30 Republican lawmakers via a petition for a writ of mandamus, a judicial order which compels a government official to take a particular action. The legislators who filed the petition said that Secretary of State Lawerence Denney R acted improperly when he accepted the veto because Otter issued it more than 10 days after the Legislature adjourned.

The Idaho Constitution establishes a day deadline for signing bills after the Legislature adjourns before they automatically become law. However, in the case Cenarrusa v. Andrus , the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that the day period should start when the governor receives the bill from the Legislature, not when the Legislature adjourns.

This was to prevent the Legislature from withholding bills from the governor until the end of the day period. In the case of the grocery tax repeal, Otter vetoed the bill more than 10 days after the legislature adjourned, but less than 10 days from when he received it from the Legislature, thus acting in compliance with the Cenarrusa decision.

In the majority opinion denying the writ of mandamus, Justice Daniel Eismann ruled that the governor has only 10 days after adjournment to sign bills, therefore overturning Cenarrusa. The ruling was not applied retroactively, so previous vetoes that came after the day deadline could not be challenged in court.

The legislative session ran from January 11 to May They disagreed on several issues including freezing local property tax rates, adding additional restrictions to compensation programs for injured workers, and increasing the state income tax. After failing to reach an agreement, Rauner called the General Assembly into special session from June 21 to June 30, the last day of the fiscal year. A budget agreement was not reached before June 30, meaning Illinois entered the fiscal year without a budget.

The tax plan raised the personal income tax from 3. The budget passed the House by a vote. On July 4, the state Senate passed the budget on a vote. Shortly after the state Senate passed the budget, it was vetoed by Rauner. On July 6, the House overrode the veto by a margin. Prior to passing the budget, Illinois faced cuts to state services, including shutdowns of state transportation projects and the state lottery, and a potential downgrade of the credit rating on its bonds to junk status.

The conflict between Rauner and the General Assembly continued after the budget was passed. The funding for districts can be increased by elements such as income, property wealth, and English-learning needs. Rauner indicated that he would veto the bill because he believed it would benefit Chicago at the expense of other areas of the state. He said that progress had been made in negotiations with Rauner and Republicans. On August 28, the Illinois House rejected the agreement in a vote.

After the override vote received just 63 of the 71 votes it needed to pass, the chamber took up the compromise bill again and passed it Rauner said he would sign the bill. Following the elections, Illinois was one of 19 states under divided government.

Roy Cooper D. The vetoes were related to conflict between the Republican-controlled General Assembly and Cooper following the elections where Cooper defeated incumbent Pat McCrory R in a close race.

McCrory did not concede the race until almost a month after the election. He requested a recount since unofficial vote totals had him within 10, votes of Cooper. Despite Cooper's victory, Republicans won a majority in the North Carolina State Senate and a majority in the North Carolina House of Representatives , giving them the three-fifths majority needed in each chamber to override gubernatorial vetoes.

The Origination Clause was part of the Great Compromise. The Presentment Clause is no such paper tiger. The Clause provides that a bill can become a law only if, after passage by both Houses of Congress, it is presented to the President. The President then has ten days either to sign the bill into law or reject the bill and return it to Congress with an explanation of his or her objections.

If the President rejects the bill, he or she must return it to the House in which it originated. Matters are more complicated if the President does nothing by the end of the ten-day window. In those circumstances, the President may effectively veto the bill by taking no action.

What exactly constitutes an adjournment for the purposes of a pocket veto has been a source of conflict. Does any adjournment count, for example, or just those adjournments that end the legislative session? The Court refined that interpretation in Wright v. United States , ruling that a three-day adjournment of just one House of Congress does not permit a pocket veto.

For brief adjournments of a single House, the Court ruled, the originating House may designate an agent, such as a Secretary or Clerk, to receive a vetoed bill. Modern practice is more fluid than Wright may suggest, however. Several recent Presidents have purported to pocket veto bills even when the originating House of Congress has designated an agent to receive a veto message. The third and final Clause, known as the Presentment of Resolutions Clause, concerns the presentment of orders, resolutions, and any issues other than bills.

A congressional declaration of war, for example, comes in the form of a joint resolution. Not all issues require presentment, however. The Clause explicitly exempts questions of adjournment and, under Article V, congressionally proposed amendments to the Constitution are sent to state legislatures for approval, not to the President. More generally, resolutions that are not meant to become law are not subject to presentment. Congress may, for example, adopt concurrent resolutions setting budgetary goals without seeking presidential approval.

By the same token, legislative subpoenas are not presented to the president for his approval. Chadha , ruling that it was unconstitutional for Congress to use a resolution to overturn an executive action.

Some of the most urgent debates in constitutional law arise when courts are asked to enforce those parts of the Constitution—including Article I, Section 7—that structure how Congress makes law.

Although the point is often overlooked, most of the constitutional rules governing lawmaking need no judicial enforcement. The House of Representatives, for example, does not attempt to claim the power to make a law without Senate involvement.

Nor do the House and Senate believe that their bills have the force of law even if the President has vetoed them. The rules of bicameralism and presentment are so entrenched in our constitutional system that it would be unthinkable to disregard them. From time to time, however, complex questions do arise about whether Congress and the President have been faithful to the lawmaking process that Article I, Section 7 prescribes. When that happens, the courts may be enlisted to uphold the constitutional design.
