      The result was good this time, but doesn’t that allow the governor to pass any law as long as they can find the right words in the right order? I can easily imagine this going very wrong.

        I’m pretty sure this was done to freak out the legislation and force them to remove the partial veto

          They can only remove it via constitutional amendment, so it would have to go to the voters first.

            not remove the power of veto, just override this specific exercise of it

        The manipulation of the numbers suggests that you just need the right letters in the right order…
