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. As early as the mid-18th century, an erection was known as a horn or the horn, simply because it looked a bit like one.
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 exactly 10 business days to sign the bill. If the bill is signed within the 10 day period, it becomes a law. The President also has the option of not passing the bill which is called a veto. If he vetoes the bill that does not necessarily mean it does not pass. Remember, our system of government is based on checks and balances. If the bill passes the Senate by a 2/3 majority (67 votes) then even if the President vetoes the bill, it still passes. So, if the President vetoes the bill and there is not a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate the bill dies and does not become law. The other option is for the President to not sign it all.
