Nepal ends king's veto powers
Advertisements [?]
No more "signing statements" for the King ...

Nepal's parliament has voted to remove King Gyanendra’s right to reject laws.

Saturday's decision to end the king's right of veto is the latest measure to reduce his authority after he was forced to end his absolute rule.

"This regulation has eliminated any and all authority the king had in parliament. From now on the parliament is independent to draft new laws and enforce them," said Subash Nemwang, the speaker for Nepal's parliament.

Members of parliament welcomed the decision.
