Constitutional Problems Involved in the McCook Case

Abstract

The Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut in the case of State v. McCook, decided July 25, 1929, determined an important question as to the time within which the governor may approve legislation in this State. Article IV, sec. 12 of the constitution of Connecticut, framed in 1818, is, with verbal changes, and with differences of the period for executive consideration and in legislative majorities, substantially the same as the provision of the constitution of the United States with respect to executive approval or disapproval of legislation.
