Each bill which shall have passed both houses of the General Assembly shall be presented to the governor. If he shall approve, he shall sign and transmit it to the secretary of the state, but, if he shall disapprove, he shall transmit it to the secretary with his objections, and the secretary shall thereupon return the bill to the house in which it originated with the governor's objections, which shall be entered on the journal of the house, which shall proceed to reconsider the bill. If, after such reconsideration, that house shall again pass it, it shall be sent with the objections to the other house, which shall also reconsider it. If approved, it shall be a law and be transmitted to the secretary; but, in such case, the votes of both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays and the names of the members voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each house respectively. In case the governor shall not transmit the bill to the secretary, either with his approval or with his objections, within five calendar days, Sundays and legal holidays excepted, after the same shall have been presented to him, it shall be a law at the expiration of that period unless the General Assembly shall then have adjourned sine die, in which case the bill shall be a law unless the governor shall, within fifteen calendar days after the same shall have been presented to him, transmit it to the secretary with his objections, in which case it shall not be a law.
Bills may be presented to the governor after the adjournment sine die of the General Assembly, and the General Assembly may by law consistent with this amendment regulate the time and method of performing all ministerial acts necessary or incidental to the administration of this amendment.
This amendment shall not impair the powers granted to the governor by Article XXXVII of the Amendments to the Constitution.
