Presidential veto ruled unconstitutional
The SG judicial branch ruled CR-12S-2565 was vetoed unconstitutionally.
The constitutional referendum was originally passed in a senate meeting on January 30, 2012. Matt Brockelman then vetoed it on February 2, 2012.
According to the SG constitution, CR bills passed by senate must go directly to a student vote in a general election. Because of the unconstitutional veto, the senate voted 9-0-0 to recall CR-12S-2565.
Senate Pro-Tempore Kaitlin Ramirez said the bill will be discussed in detail at the committee meetings on May 20.
