Explanation:

Veto Powers of Governor:

Every ordinary bill, after it is passed by the legislative assembly in case of a unicameral legislature or by both the Houses in case of a bicameral legislature either in the first instance or in the second instance, is presented to the governor for his assent. He has four alternatives:

• He may give his assent to the bill, the bill then becomes an act.

• He may withhold his assent to the bill; the bill then ends and does not become an act.

• He may return the bill for reconsideration of the House or Houses. If the bill is passed by the House or Houses again with or without amendments and presented to the governor for his assent, the governor must give his assent to the bill. Thus, the governor enjoys only a ‘suspensive veto’.

• He may reserve the bill for the consideration of the President.
