In the Senate, the two overrides were forced through parliamentary procedure, voting for what’s called the “previous question”. Once was last year, twice was this year.
Missouri’s Republican-led Legislature took the first step Wednesday toward overriding a veto of a voter photo ID requirement as it met in a short session to also consider a measure significantly relaxing the state’s gun laws.
“No one has indicated to me that they plan on changing the vote that they made during session”, Kraus said. His arguments won the day in the 2015, but in 2016 West Virginia lawmakers overruled the veto of their governor to make the Second Amendment a sufficient carry permit for that state too. The House quickly voted 112-41 to overturn the governor’s veto. After getting through the state senate on Wednesday night, the override moves on to the house where it is expected to succeed.

Nixon said the cuts were necessary to offset two newly enacted tax breaks – an income tax deduction for agricultural disaster aid payments and a sales tax exemption for instructional classes such as dance lessons. With the guns bill and a measure imposing a photo identification requirement for voters among those on the docket, Nixon’s status as the most-overridden governor in state history is nearly certain to expand after the veto session. This is known as “Constitutional carry”. SB 656 [materials] expands the rights of gun owners by protecting concealed carry individuals from arrest for carrying their weapons onto private properties where guns are prohibited and creating lifetime concealed carry permits. “I haven’t looked at the budget numbers for this month, but the Governor can only withhold in times of a deficit”. He said that would be a discussion for January, when the Legislature would have a better idea of the state’s financial health.
