Pocket veto no longer exists in Senate. Why it is on their site, I have no idea.

What part of this sentence didn't people understand??
Senator Dale M. Volker (R-I-C, Depew) today announced > that Governor George E. Pataki has enacted his bill into law (S.918), > which > would allow sportsmen to hunt deer and bear in the southern tier > counties > with rifles. To me this says that Pataki acted (signed) and the bill is law. Go get your rifles. |
