The length of time the information remains on your report depends upon how it was reported in the first place: collection accounts stay for seven years, and public records last on your report for ten years.
Or it can be limited, as in the legislative process of the United States, where a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate may override a Presidential veto of legislation. A veto gives power only to stop changes, not to adopt them (except for the rare amendatory veto). Thus a veto allows its holder to protect the status quo. The concept of a veto body originated with the Roman consuls and tribunes.
Congress overrode two of Carter's vetoes. Not since 1952 had a Congress controlled by the president's own party overridden a veto. On 5 June 1980, Carter vetoed a bill that repealed a crude oil import fee of $4.62 per barrel. The same day, the House voted 335â34 to override Carter's veto. The Senate followed suit the next day by 68 votes to 10. Carter's own party (the Democrats) had a 59-seat majority (276â157) in the House, and an eight-seat majority (58â41) in the Senate.
