An example of how the system of checks and balances works in Georgia is over-riding a governor's veto.
In Georgia, the legislative branch has the power to override a governor's veto with a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is an example of checks and balances because it allows the legislative branch to check the power of the executive branch (represented by the governor) and to override his or her decision if necessary.
Reducing property taxes and signing a petition to repeal a law are not examples of the system of checks and balances. Appealing a case to a higher court is an example of checks and balances, but it is not specific to Georgia and can occur in any state or at the federal level.
