§ 25.4-404. Veto Powers of the Mayor.
Every ordinance and resolution passed by Council shall be sent to and received by the Mayor within three (3) days from its adoption. The Mayor may approve such legislation by signing it within a period of ten (10) days after its passage by Council. The Mayor may disapprove (veto) such legislation by not signing it; but in such cases, he shall return it to Council within ten (10) days after its adoption with a written statement of his objections. If the Mayor shall neither sign nor veto such legislation within the above specified time period, then it shall take effect in the same manner as if he had signed it on the last day of said ten (10) day period. Following the veto by the Mayor, Council may reconsider the legislation; and it shall take effect if it is approved by seven (7) members of Council notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor.
