The Text

Every bill before it becomes a law shall be presented to the governor. If he approve, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return it with his objections to the house in which it originated, which house shall enter the objections at large on its journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of the members elected to such house shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent with the objections to the other house, by which it shall also be reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds of all the members elected to such house, it shall thereupon become a law. But in all such cases the votes in each house shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting for and against the bill shall be entered on its journal. If any bill is not returned by the governor within ten days, Sundays excepted, after it has been presented to him, it shall be a law unless the Legislature by its adjournment prevent its return. No bill shall become a law by the approval of the governor after the end of the session at which the same was passed, unless it shall be sent by him to the office of the secretary of state within ten days (excluding Sundays) after the end of the session.
