If this is the case why did your so called override not applicable when GEJ rejected their selfish demonic bill passed to hi when he was in power

PROPHETmichael:


Don't you know that after a certain number of days, if the president refuses to sign any bill, the national assembly can override him and sign the bill using a 2/3 vote of both the House & Senate?

This is corruption fighting back and frustrating PMB's efforts to get the country rid of corruption.

We will take you serious on corruption when buhari show his original certificate, buratai is persecuted etc

Who will sign the bill into law?

funny!! but d national assembly has d veto power. it can b law witout passing tru d president

Politicians like Saraki are bent on dooming this country, the way the Somali, Afghani and other crooked countries Politicians doomed theirs.
But they wont suffer the consequence because they have looted enough money to run away to a foreign country.
It is the poor masses that are (and will) suffering in the aforementioned countries.

So, should the poor masses (and rich ones among them) not ACT NOW, march on these criminals in our NASS, before it is too late?
Do we have to wait for the country to implode, before we act?

Remember, when it happens,. it will not differentiate whether you are a Norther or Easterner or Southerner or Westerner, APC or PDP supporter not whether you are educated or not. Even secessionist wont have anything to secede to or secede from!

Ask the Syrians or the Somalians, everybody lost everything.

A time will come when WAR will be inevitable, when the country descends into anarchy.

A stitch in-time, saves nine.
We MUST march on this NASS before they plunge Nigeria into chaos.

If the dullard refuses to sign the bill into law, the National assembly will invoke it's veto power

IF CARE IS NOT TAKING SARAKI WILL REWRITE OUR CONSTITUTION,TO SUIT HIS CURUPTION LIFE STYLE,DIS GVT IS FULL OF STUPIDITY,IF IT OBASANJO,HE WOULD HV CRUSH HIM

feeloscar:
How are they going to get the 2/3?

This is NASS vs Aso Rock and any one of them could be in Saraki's position. How did they elect principal officers without GMB'sapproval??

We don't need a senate in Nigeria.

Has buhari got himself and APC rid of corruption? Corruption stinks in APC.

BERNIMOORE:
you are funny, Do you kow that 84 out of 109 senators backed saraki! that is over 2/3rd

and even when they cannot follow him each senators hires a SAN for saraki, and thats why you at times see more than 80 SANs with saraki.


judiciary''s co-opreation is just whats needed, Now that the Njc are at loggerhead with buhari, Theres No better time than now to stamp their authority, lets enjoy te show as it lasts!

Even were all this to be true, an act of Parliament only becomes law when it is gazetted by the government of the day. You don't want to know how many treaties Nigeria has signed and how many acts have been passed that are hanging in limbo. Until it is gazetted, no court will entertain it. Please read the 1999 constitution.

If the president vetos it and fails to sign it to law, and returns it to the national assembly and it gets a vote of 2 third majority to overule the veto, it becomes law.

Don't pick up a fight with me, i am only explaining to you how it goes.

linearity:

If as it is now...'they are divided along party lines', it means they will not have a two-third majority to over-ride any Presidential veto...plus the fact that, been divided along party lines, means we have more people opposed to the amendment, since the number of APC members are higher...so this amendment is DOA.

so Saraki is not APC?

PROPHETmichael:


Don't forget the 2/3rd doesn't necessary means 2/3rd in the hallow chamber....na Sakari go ask "“Those in support say Aye and those against say nay" and na him go still say “The ayes have it” irrespective of how loud the "northeren lawbreakers" were

Not correct. A vote count is required in this instance. Only in the case of simple majority is that 'aye and nay' allowed.

Meaning people like me had been wasting time arguing with your likes in nairaland? Have you ever heard of veto power? The legislative arm can make it law without your tyrant's consent after 30 days. Pls tell me thank you for this enlightenment

BrokenTV:
This Senators and house of Rep members are vagabonds and crooks, only after their own interests.

Then, the electorate shld learn to vote wisely.. ...This is the solution. Enough of blaming the thieves when we can just avoid them at the first place.

if the president refuse to sign it, the national assembly has the power to sign it into law just as they can with the national budget.

afonjas should go and cry with buhari.

He/she has no clue. The idiiots seem to think that everything starts and ends with the president. It is actually a good move by the upper and lower houses. At least, they debate at both houses, unlike in the presidency, where only one man calls the shot.

meetbalo:

Seems you have also forgotten about the use of impeachment as a tool to force the hand of the president if necessary. There are checks and balances my friend. That's why we have the 3 arms.

At the moment, the presidency is pitching itself against the other 2 arms. It is only a matter of time before we see some sort of realignment of forces between the judiciary and members of the upper and lower houses. You know what that portends for the presidency?

I know it has never happened before, but there is always the first time. I pray we don't get there.

I don't care if they removed all his powers. Next time he'll listen to elder's advise. Tinubu warned him of why he must be highly interested in who becomes the house leaders, he didn't listen but was playing ostrich. We would nt have been having all these logjams. He should enjoy it while it lasts.
Next bill will be for EFCC, INEC, ICPC etc. Executive will therefore becomes useless. Good for PMB.

jobless legislatives. anti-corruption bill is wit them they sees nothing wrong in acceleratin d passage of d said bill. mad people

Voting is beyond aye and ney!

Voting means every single senator or reps member voting either through electronic means or via ballot.

2/3rd majority cannot be achieved with aye or ney. There is still a long way to go.

Leave them, they think its just gonna be a walk through. As matter of fact, Buhari has so far been a gentleman if not. Trust scheming Obj to do DJ with these legislooters

docadams:
Who will sign the bill into law?

I intend to make this as simple as possible, S.58 of the 1999 Constitution provides for the mode of exercising legislative power in general as follows: (1) The power of the National Assembly to make laws shall be exercised by bills passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives and, except as otherwise provided by subsection (5) of this section, assented to by the President. (2) A bill may originate in either the Senate or the House of Representatives and shall not become law unless it has been passed and, except as otherwise provided by this section and section 59 of this Constitution, assented to in accordance with the provisions of this section. (3) Where a bill has been passed by the House in which it originated, it shall be sent to the other House, and it shall be presented to the President for assent when it has been passed by that other House and agreement has been reached between the two Houses on any amendment made on it. (4) Where a bill is presented to the President for assent, he shall within thirty days thereof signify that he assents or that he withholds assent. (5) Where the President withholds his assent and the bill is again passed by each House by two-thirds majority, the bill shall become law

TheFreeOne:


Even amongst thieves there is honor and politicians are always united whenever their interests are concerned.

With the passage of the bill it will give them more room to maneuver should anyone of them be in the same shoe saraki found himself presently. With such mindsets two third won't be that difficult to override presidential veto.

And I can't find your own position. It seem you are happy the legislative are only interested on their welfare.

SillyMods:
Any bill deemed not to be in the interest of the masses will not be accented to by the president.

That I can assure.

president's assent kwa? They will just overide Him, you can only hope he has enough men in NASS

docadams:
Who will sign the bill into law?

Buhari will sign it and should he refuse the national assembly will vote to overide Buhari's veto to make it a law.
