Senator Seeks Constitutional Change To Overcome Veto
In Washington on April 7 the senate heard Mr. Butler propose a joint resolution to amend the constitution to omit the president's veto power so both houses can pass measures by a simple majority. He argues the veto was rooted in English ideas and seeks to curb executive power. The session also covered free coinage petitions from labor groups and postal service funding debates, with other notes on a NC election ruling and a Miles lieutenant general resolution.
