Is this a major usage arround the world? Surely this would be better placed in a small paragraph at the end of the page. -- I totally agree that i am stupid. What rubbish to put in the first paragraph. <big>I'm Hulu gumby pump yolks Curdle birdies.</big> == U.S. state governor veto == It would be nice if we could verify whether or not all US state's governors have veto power so that we could remove the unprofessional looking "perhaps all" phrase from the article. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:12.203.226.193|12.203.226.193]] ([[User talk:12.203.226.193|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/12.203.226.193|contribs]]) 04:23, 23 February 2005.</small> :This is no longer in the article. Governors can veto, though they may be some particular nuances per state. -- [[User:Centrx|Centrx]] 23:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC) ==Switzerland== :In Switzerland, the government cannot stop legislation by itself, but 50'000 voters or eight cantons can demand that a law enacted or certain treaties ratified by the Federal Assembly be made subject to a binding popular referendum. When this constitutional rule was introduced in the 19th century, it was widely referred to as the "people's veto". Is this 50k figure the same as since the introduction? Or has it been changed since then. Either way it's an interesting point that needs to be clarified. 50k in the 19th century would have presumably been a much larger percentage of the population and therefore likely a lot harder to achieve just to get the referendum (I guess it would have been at least 10% of the population, probably more)...

It is ranked among 20 best B-schools in the world. ==Papal Veto== Can there be an entry for the veto used in papal elections - last persons so affected [[Mariano Cardinal Rampolla]] and [[Pius X]] - there were a number of others. [[User:Jackiespeel|Jackiespeel]] 18:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC) :I don't really know if that fits the article. This article is about heads of state vetoing legislation. Otherwise any time a ruler has said "no" to an idea, that would be considered a veto under this article. Right? --[[User:Hyphen5|Hyphen5]] 16:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC) :fixed the phrase that implied that the term veto came from this, not the case. Also, can someone with some Latin knowledge please elaborate a little more on the etymology? thanks! <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/216.145.54.7|216.145.54.7]] ([[User talk:216.145.54.7|talk]]) 14:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> This 'Papal' veto is called jus exclusivae, exercised by Cardinals on the direction of Catholic Monarchs.

However, the government can still make an appeal to a special court, the "Constitutional court", made by a body of judges, that together issue a verdict approving or rejecting the president's decision. --[[User:Netshark|Netshark]] 09:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC) :So long as you reference it, you should include that. --[[User:Hyphen5|Hyphen5]] 16:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC) Portuguese President can also use a "pocket veto", simply by not promulgating the law voted by parliament. --[[User:B.Lameira|B.Lameira]] ([[User talk:B.Lameira|talk]]) 01:25, 23 February 2016 (UTC) == Two things == 1. I am tempted to delete that section about how the presidential veto is "an irony and a paradox". Is that paragraph really necessary? It moves from exposition to analysis. Isn't it kind of unencyclopedic? At the very least, it's unsourced. --[[User:Hyphen5|Hyphen5]] 16:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC) 2. In the introductory paragraphs, we mention the origin of the veto had something to do with the Roman Senate. Shouldn't we expand upon that in its own section? Does anyone have any details about that? --[[User:Hyphen5|Hyphen5]] 16:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC) :[[Tribune#Tribune of the Plebs|Here there is some information about them]].--[[User:FAR|FAR]] 11:15, 10 September 2006 (UTC) == Delaying veto == there is the third kind of veto - dalaying veto. If veto is set by any party, it can not be overruled by anyone else, but the legislation has to be taken off the agenda and adopted later - after the disagreeing parties have come to a consensus. == Australia == I added a heap of stuff about veto powers in Australia. I am an Aussie, and I wanted to encourage info about other Commonwealth countries, so the article doesn't look umbalanced (and about other countries too, of course). I think this is a neat article. There are lots of interesting and strange examples of the veto being used by different officers of state and legislatures. For example, when King [[Badouin]] refused to assent to the Belgian abortion act, and was declared unfit to rule so the act could pass. We should try and find examples like that. Cheers all!--[[User:Gazzster|Gazzster]] 04:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC) == Reversion == Someone chopped off %70 of this article in September 2008, and no one seems to have noticed, rendering it little more than a stub. I've reverted it, and tried to do some cleanup, but it needs the help of a comparative political scientist, and perhaps a section on usage of this procedure in non-political systems (Roberts Rules of Order, for instance). Either way, PLEASE look at the byte count in the history before you reverse vandalism. That's how vandal edits get embedded in to articles. Thanks you [[User:T L Miles|T L Miles]] ([[User talk:T L Miles|talk]]) 03:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC) == Threaten to veto == I don't really see why that's there. Maybe if there were actually an article about, or with information on threats to veto, but it just links to the article for the word "threaten". I'm removing it, I guess you can put it back if you think there's a good reason for it to be there, but it just seems silly to me. [[Special:Contributions/65.78.144.186|65.78.144.186]] ([[User talk:65.78.144.186|talk]]) 13:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC) == Germany == As far as I know Germany has a ''de facto'' presidential veto, as the federal president can refuse to sign a bill into law and thereby force it to be changed or abandoned. [[Horst Köhler]] has done that a few times. -- [[User:Imladros|Imladros]] ([[User talk:Imladros|talk]]) 22:26, 28 November 2009 (UTC) == only legislation? == The opening paragraph refers to legislation. In the USA, the term is used only in reference to legislation. But the former power of certain states (Austria, France?) to veto papal elections is not about legislation. Roman tribunes could veto executive action, and whether the Roman Senate's power was legislative in nature is something I have doubts about.

However, suspensive veto is not described in the article. I encourage editors with knowledge of the topic to add an explanation to this article. [[User:Patsw|patsw]] ([[User talk:Patsw|talk]]) 21:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC) :I take it, it just means a formal power to delay implementation of laws. Theoretically seems a much more defensible concept than what is presently widespread (like on the UN-SC for example). I also take it that UK currently has this system, and that the original French republic did also (does anyone know how long their king's veto was supposed to have effect?). Where in the structure of this article would an explanation best fit? [[User:Cesiumfrog|Cesiumfrog]] ([[User talk:Cesiumfrog|talk]]) 15:15, 27 June 2012 (UTC) == Merge w/veto override == The veto override info is already in this article. Rather than merge that article (because it has no additional useful information), I'd like to make that article a redirect to this one.

We have to be a bit careful - this is a completely different type of veto. If the right of one of the two chambers of a bicameral legislature to block legislation is a veto, why isn't the right of the US Senate or US House to block legislation also mentioned? In effect this statement is conflating two different types of veto. The entire rest of the article is about vetoes by presidents, kings, governors or tribunes. A legislative chamber voting against something is a different matter. 13:52, 6 July 2019 (UTC) <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.163.171.174|86.163.171.174]] ([[User talk:86.163.171.174#top|talk]]) </small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> :I agree completely with your reasoning and have removed the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Veto&diff=999692359&oldid=998861934 paragraph in question].

[[User:Beorhtwulf|Beorhtwulf]] ([[User talk:Beorhtwulf|talk]]) 13:20, 11 January 2021 (UTC) == Possible reorg == I am incubating a reorg of this article at [[User:Visviva/Veto]]. It is still quite incomplete but involves some significant structural changes, so I wanted to mention it here in case people have opinions/suggestions. In addition to adding sections for the typology and theory of vetoes, the major change is to greatly increase the number of countries covered, relying as much as possible on comparative scholarship. Each country gets one paragraph, with a "further reading" link steering the reader/editor to an article where they can find additional context and where any additional details could be added (which is most commonly "Politics of X"). I am experimenting with a bulleted-paragraphs format that I am not entirely sold on, but think it is more satisfactory in this context than a table, and considerably more satisfactory than the blizzard of L2 headers this article would have if it were scaled up in its current structure. This reorg would involve spinning off the US material to a separate article (rather overdue I think), and possibly also offloading some of the UK, AU and CA material to the extent it is salvageable and non-redundant. As a side note, as I bumble along I am running into an underlying ambiguity as to the scope of this article -- is it a general article on "veto" that encompasses all legal powers that are treated as veto powers in reliable secondary sources, or is it only about the more cohesive topic of executive vetoes of legislation? -- but I am not sure if that is the sort of ambiguity that can or should be resolved in this sort of article. For purposes of the reorg, I am aiming to keep the article content focused on but not strictly ''limited'' to traditional executive vetoes. -- [[User:Visviva|Visviva]] ([[User talk:Visviva|talk]]) 04:03, 14 June 2022 (UTC) Update: I think this is about ready (for a certain limited sense of "ready"), so if nobody squawks I will plan to apply it to the article shortly. It is still only a pale shadow of what a proper treatment of the subject matter would involve, but I think at least it is gesturing in the right general direction, so I hope it can provide a foundation for further growth and improvement. -- [[User:Visviva|Visviva]] ([[User talk:Visviva|talk]]) 03:53, 22 June 2022 (UTC) I have now applied the rewrite. Please edit mercilessly. -- [[User:Visviva|Visviva]] ([[User talk:Visviva|talk]]) 04:46, 23 June 2022 (UTC) == Political science == ~~~~'
