divided over the merits Of the
particular bill that it attempts to
arrest, and as to whether facts Justify
the executive in his action. Then
there is division of sentiment on the
general subject Of the exercise of the
veto, some holding that it should be
freely used, and others that only
exceptional cases warrant it. Some
applaud a president who vetoes often.

The constitution gives the president
the right TO withhold his approval from
any measure, and in case he does so.
