13-2 message transmitting the same, or become the subject of a special
13-3 order. When the message is received, or (if made a special order)
13-4 when the special order is called, the said message or statement
13-5 must be read together with the bill or bills so disapproved or
13-6 vetoed. The message and bill must be read by the Chief Clerk
13-7 without interruption, consecutively, one following the other, and
13-8 not upon separate occasions. No such bill or message may be
13-9 referred to any committee, or otherwise acted upon save as
13-10 provided by law and custom; that is to say, that immediately
13-11 following such reading the only question (except as hereinafter
13-12 stated) which may be put by the Speaker is, “Shall the bill pass,
13-13 notwithstanding the objections of the Governor?” It shall not be in
13-14 order, at any time, to vote upon such a vetoed bill unless the same
13-15 shall first have been read, from the first word of its title to and
13-16 including the last word of its final section. No motion may be
13-17 entertained after the Speaker has stated the question, save a
13-18 motion to adjourn or a motion for the previous question, but the
13-19 merits of the bill itself may be debated. The message or statement
13-20 containing the objections of the Governor to the bill must be
13-21 entered in the Journal of the Assembly. The consideration of a
13-22 vetoed bill, and the objections of the Governor thereto, shall be a
13-23 privileged question, and shall take precedence over all others.
