Bill Clinton Case Study

Bills are defined as a draft of a proposed law presented to parliament for discussion. Governor Grey Abbott has vetoed 42 bills so far. He uses the original documents and his conservatism to make his desions . He argues that if the bills will to pass than the state government will grow stronger. The smaller bills that he vetoes, he looks at it and sees if it favors one part of a state more than the other which could be unfair and unethical for the government if it favored one part of a state than another. If he is dealing with criminal and election bills he favors the present state system than making any changes. The large amount of bills vetoed by Grey Abbott has been the largest vetoed bills since Rick Perry who vetoed 56 bills in the year

2007.
The author of the House Bill 4103 is Guillen and the sponsor was Garcia.

This bill did, was to extended the municipal court judges term. The bill states that a municipal court judge can serve for two years in the office. However, they can serve more terms if municipality provides a longer term for them. If a municipal court judge is not reappointed within the 91st day of the expired term of the one in office at that time. Than the one in office at that time will continue to serve another term after the expired term date. These judges can do the duties that they are responsible for without any additional oath or other requirements under the Article XVI, Section 1. The reason why governor Abbott vetoed this bill was because according to the Texas Constitution all elected and appointed officers have to take the oath. Even when the existing officer is beginning a new term they must re-take the oath. He also adds that no judge from the municipal court should be excused from protecting and preserving the Texas Constitution. This is the reason why governor Abbott objected to the bill 4103. I agree because we do need to preserve the Constitution and if we change this than is could create loop hole for other crimes and there won’t be meaning to the constitution since it will be ignored on the part that talks about

oath.
Furthermore, the author of the bill 3511 is Davis and Sarah the sponsors is Huffman. This bill deals with the contents of a financial statement that are electronically filed out by a person. The bill states that a person who fills a verified financial statement electronically with the help of another person or another authority. Doesn’t have to include a swan statement with the person’s signature on the finical statement if the person has received an electronic filling password in accordance to the law and the password is used to file the statement. Governor Abbott states that Texas should have accountability and transparency from the public officials and this bills weakens the ethics laws that are governing officeholder financial disclosures. I agree to this because the signature is a way of showing accountability and this should be kept secret .
The bill 3390 was by Larson and sponsored by Perry.

This bill is about a written agreement about a firearm that cross a property line. The Bill states that there should be a written agreement and a contact information regarding the property. A person is protected from prosecution under this bill if the person owns a property from both sides of the property line were the firearm crossed. They may also have a written agreement with the person who owns the property on either sides of the property that the firearm goes over. The agreement must contain information such as telephone number and the mailing address of the person who is using the firearm. Also the property must be identified on either side of the property line the firearm crossed and be signed by any person who owns property from either of the line that was crossed. Governor Abbott objected to this bill because the present day law states that its already illegal to fire across a property line unless the person owns both part of the land themselves or has some kind of documents to prove it. This bill will contain more of the person’s personal information which could increase prosecution of hunters and people who fire across other’s property. I agree with the governor because this bill requires to much of the personal information of a person and firing across another person’ property is illegal to do which is why this bill shouldn’t be

passed.
In conclusion bills are passed to fix problems that are present in our states. Such as the bills mentioned above. However, sometimes these bills can violate people’s rights and not be under the Texas Constitution. Bills that don’t follow and protect the constitution and protect ethics of the government is sometimes questioned by governors like governor Abbott. Being a conservative and sticking with the orthodox ways also makes him make his dessions.
