How later courts described this case
- Governor acts in a legislative capacity when considering bills, and redistricting bill is within Governor’s legislative veto power
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Mr. Justice Underwood, also dissenting:
I share the misgivings of Mr. Justice House as to whether the gubernatorial veto power can be construed to embrace the legislative duty to reapportion as provided in section 8 of article IV, and, on that basis, would join in reversal of the judgment herein.
