The
Governor assents to the bills passed by both houses. In certain
cases, he may return a bill to the Legislature, giving his reason;
however, if the two houses pass the bill with or without accepting
his recommendations, he has to assent to it. He may refer certain
bills to the President for consideration and assent. The Governor
also has powers to promulgate ordinances, when the houses of the
Legislature are not in session. The ordinances are, however,
required to be laid before the houses and cease to operate after six
weeks from the reassembly unless, before the expiry of that period,
a resolution disapproving the ordinance is passed by the Legislative
Assembly and agreed to by the Council.
