[As amended November 1930]
 Every bill which shall have passed the legislature shall, before it becomes
a law, be presented to
 the governor; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return
it, with his objections, to
 that house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections
at large upon the
 journal and proceed to reconsider it. Appropriation bills may be approved
in whole or in part by
 the governor, and the part approved shall become law, and the part objected
to shall be returned
 in the same manner as provided for other bills. If, after such reconsideration,
two-thirds of the
 members present shall agree to pass the bill, or the part of the bill objected
to, it shall be sent,
 together with the objections, to the other house, by which it shall likewise
be reconsidered, and if
 approved by two-thirds of the members present it shall become a law. But
in all such cases the
 votes of both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names
of the members voting
 for or against the bill or the part of the bill objected to, shall be entered
on the journal of each
 house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the governor within
six days (Sundays
excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a
law unless the legislature
shall, by their adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it shall not
be a law. [1927 SJR-35; 1929

 eration, two-thirds of the members present shall agree to

not be returned by the governor within six days (Sundays


excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same
