applicable to the Virgin Islands, but no law shall be enacted which would impair rights existing or arising by virtue of any treaty or international agreement entered into by the United States. Section 12. Quorum and Method of Voting on Bills. The quorum of the Legislature shall consist of eight of its members. No bill shall become law unless it shall have been passed at a meeting, at which a quorum was present, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present and voting, which vote shall be by yeas and nays. Section 13. Enacting Clause of Acts. The enacting clause of all acts shall be as follows: "Be it enacted by the Legislature of the Territory of the United States Virgin Islands." Section 14. Approval and Disapproval of Bills. Every bill passed by the Legislature shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Governor. If the Governor approves the bill, he shall sign it. If the Governor disapproves the bill, he shall, except as hereinafter provided, return it, with his objections, to the Legislature within ten days (Sundays and holidays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him. If the Governor does not return the bill within such period, it shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Legislature by adjournment sine die prevents its return, in which case it shall be a law if signed by the Governor within thirty days after it shall have been presented to him; otherwise it shall not be a law. When a bill is returned by the Governor to the Legislature with his objections, the Legislature shall enter his objections at large on its journal and, upon motion of a member of the Legislature, proceed to reconsider the bill. If after such reconsideration, which shall take place within a period of not more than twelve months, two-thirds of all the members of the Legislature pass the bill, it shall be a law. Section 15. Item Veto Power. The Governor shall have the power to disapprove any distinct item or items of any bill making appropriations of money while at the same time approving the remainder of the bill; Provided, that no qualifications or restrictions shall be vetoed without vetoing the appropriation to which it relates. The part or parts of the bill so approved shall become effective and the item or items of appropriations so disapproved shall not take effect unless the same are separately reconsidered and repassed in accordance with the requirements prescribed for the passage of bills over the executive veto. In cases in which the Governor shall exercise this power he shall append to the bill at the time of signing it a statement of the item or items disapproved, together with his reasons for disapproval, and transmit the bill to the Legislature. Section 16. Journal of Proceedings: Contents. No bill shall be passed unless it has been printed, and read. The Legislature shall keep a journal of its proceedings and of the yeas and nays on every bill passed, and on any question before the Legislature. The journal shall be published not later than thirty days after the close of a meeting of the Legislature.
