officer at the time.

• Legislation having received the required vote for passage through the Senate of SGA shall be submitted to the President of SGA for approval or veto. Failure or refusal on the part of the President to sign a piece of legislation within two weeks of its passage through the Senate shall constitute a veto.

consecutive meeting.
