Gov. Mark Sanford's recent trip to Argentina proves without a doubt our governor does not know the law of his office.
- When a bill is passed by the legislature, it becomes a law when the governor signs the bill.
- If he vetoes the bill, it does not become law unless it is overridden by both houses of the legislature. This happened, but the governor decided to go to court. Does he not know the law of South Carolina?
Now he decides to override the state law by going out of the country and not following the chain of command (he is the head of the National Guard).
I worked hard last election to send him back to the Low Country. It is time now for the legislators to follow the law and impeach him.
