 Veto Power of the Governor of Minnesota
In 1917, the Minnesota Attorney General had issued an opinion that said that the return of a vetoed bill could only be made while the house of origin was in actual session, and that the Governor could retain the bill in his possession until the opening of the next session of that body.
The Governor’s staff simply lost the ability to distinguish between bills whose return was time-sensitive and bills that could be handled as part of the normal crush of work at the end of the session.
In Delaware, an attempt by the Governor to veto a rider to an appropriation, after being found invalid, was found to have invalidated the entire section containing the appropriation, since it showed that the Governor had not given his unqualified approval to the appropriation section in question.
