Sorry, accidentally mailed rather than responding - I was wondering if they can override her veto because she’s certainly going to veto it.

I was also thinking that maybe we need new laws: such as, a governor is not a dictator and cannot declare a state of emergency (suspending the Constitution, apparently) without the approval of the state legislature, and even then can only do so for a limited time. This would be non-renewable and would need another vote from the legislature if it needed to be extended.

The actions of these governors have been insane and they seem to have unlimited powers.

Great idea.
