Because the ability to veto is a separate step in the workflow, not a precondition of how the vote to pass breaks down. If the hypothetical 100% of the legislature voted yes, the governor could still say no, and then it is upon the legislature to formally override with another vote.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoThat would explain why the bill not-yet-amended to the governor's preferences could not become law without another vote. But it doesn't explain how the amended-to-the-governor's-preferences version became law.

The governor could say whatever they want, the legislature could have just sent it back as is with the override of the veto. It is mind boggling that the legislature changed anything in a bill with a super majority.
