Final answer:
The General Assembly can override a governor's veto with a two-thirds supermajority vote. This applies to both general legislation and specific items within appropriation bills. The two-thirds vote requirement allows for legislative checks on the governor's power.
Step-by-step explanation:
The General Assembly can override the veto of a governor by a two-thirds vote of its members. This supermajority requirement ensures that a significant portion of the legislature agrees on passing the bill, despite the governor's disapproval. The override applies not only to general legislation but also to items within appropriation bills (line-item vetoes) and concurrent resolutions.
Governors possess various veto powers, such as the line-item veto, amendatory veto, and in some cases, the reduction veto. The ability to exercise a veto is a critical check on legislative power, and when legislators overwhelmingly disagree with the governor's veto, they have the ability to override it with the two-thirds majority. This ensures that the governor reflects upon the will of the people as expressed through their legislative bodies.
Finally, the phrase 'vetoed bill is overridden by 23 vote' mentioned in some texts is a typographical error and should correctly refer to a 'two-thirds vote' as the standard for overriding a veto.
