Sec. 25. Ordinances—proceedings upon veto by mayor.
If the Mayor shall disapprove any ordinance or resolution, or
any item or items of an appropriation, ordinance or resolution,
presented to him for his approval or disapproval, he may return
it, with his objections in writing to the clerk of the Council.
The Council shall have the objections entered at length on
the journal, and proceed to reconsider such ordinance or resolution
or such item or items. If two-thirds of all the members
elected to the Council shall agree to pass such ordinance or resolution,
such item or items, the same shall become operative,
notwithstanding the objections of the Mayor. Otherwise, such
ordinance or resolution, or such item or items, shall be of no
effect. The vote of the Council shall be determined by yeas and
nays; and the names of all the members voting for or against
the ordinance or resolution, or the item or items objected to,
shall be entered on the journal. (Code, Sec. 1033c.)
Any ordinance, resolution or appropriation passed by the
Council and vetoed by the Mayor, shall be sent to the clerk of
the Council who shall immediately notify the president of the
Council, and in case of veto of an appropriation shall also notify
the chairman of the committee for whose department the
appropriation was made.
