The Legislature has the power to override a gubernatorial veto. Veto overrides require a two-thirds majority vote in the House and the Senate. Though successful overrides happen occasionally, they are rare. Veto and override information is complete from 1939 to the present. Information may not be complete from 1858 to 1938.
