A. The Chairperson may reverse any written decision, including resolutions, acts, and amendments passed by the Tribal Council within ten (10) calendar days after formal written presentation. No written decision of the Tribal Council shall have the full force and effect of law until the Chairperson has provided written notice of his intent to not veto the decision or until ten (10) calendar days have passed, whichever comes first.

After a veto is presented to the Tribal Council, the Tribal Council may choose to (1) override the Chairperson’s veto; (2) repass the proposed decision by a majority vote after addressing any reasons for veto noted by the Chairperson; or (3) take no further action on the decision.

E. Pursuant to Article VI, Section 2(j) of the Constitution, the Tribal Council may override a veto by the Chairperson by an affirmative vote of two-thirds (⅔) of the entire seated Tribal Council.
