It has several meanings: a woman as a sex object, sexual intercourse, and probably the ultimate meaning, female pudenda. So where did such a bizarre-sounding word come from? There are several theories. Probably the most popular is that it derives from Louisiana (and standard) French putain whore.he word horny sexually excited, lecherous derives from an interesting yet not surprising source.

By Robert Longley. A presidential veto is the rejection of a bill passed by the majority votes of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. While Congress can vote to override a presidential veto, causing the bill to become law without the president's approval, this is rarely done. More often than not, the threat of presidential veto is sufficient motivation for Congress to modify the bill prior to its final passage.
The president has 10 days to sign it into law, have it become law without his signature, or issue a pocket veto. If rejected, the bill goes back to congress with reasons for the veto. Congress does not have the power to override a pocket veto but with 2/3 vote of house and senate members can override a veto.
