it, but if not, he shall return it, with his objections, to that house in
which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large
upon the journal and proceed to reconsider it. Appropriation bills may
be approved in whole or in part by the governor, and the part approved
shall become law, and the part objected to shall be returned in the same
manner as provided for other bills. If, after such reconsideration, two-
thirds of the members present shall agree to pass the bill, or the part
of the bill objected to, it shall be sent together with the objections, to
the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if
approved by two-thirds of the members present it shall become a law.
But in all such cases the votes of both houses shall be determined by
yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting for or against the
bill or the part of the bill objected to, shall be entered on the journal
of each house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the
governor within six days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been
presented to him, the same shall be a law unless the legislature shall,
by their adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it shall not be
a law.

 officers except judicial officers, shall be chosen by the electors of the
 respective counties once in every two years. Sheriffs shall hold no other
 office, and shall not serve more than two terms or parts thereof in suc-
 cession; they may be required by law to renew their security from time
 to time, and in default of giving such new security their office shall be
 deemed vacant; but the county shall never be made responsible for the
 acts of the sheriff. The governor may remove any officer in this section
 mentioned, giving to such a copy of the charges against him and an
 opportunity of being heard in his defense. All vacancies shall be filled
by
 appointment, and the person appointed to fill a vacancy shall hold only
 for the unexpired portion of the term to which he shall be appointed
 and until his successor shall be elected and qualified.
