FACT OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY V. PRESIDENT OF FRN

National Assembly v. President of FRN
The President withheld his assent on the Electoral Bill sent to him and 2/3rd
passed a motion to override his veto. The trial judge held that the Act was
validly passed as it was in accordance to Section 58(3) & (5) which stated that
the President can give or withhold assent to any bills passed to him and if assent
is withheld, the veto can be overturned by 2/3rd of the National Assembly. On
appeal, it was argued that the passing of the mere motion to override did not
satisfy the requirements of the section. 2/3rd majority of membership was
required to successfully override the motion not just the ordinary quorum of a
House. 2/3rd of each House was required not just quorum.
