Explanation:

A "veto" is a power that a person has to reject or stop the passing of a particular piece of legislation. In the case of New Mexico, the governor has a right to veto legislation. However, the state also values the system of checks and balances, and a way in which checks are kept is by giving the right to legislators of overriding the governor's veto. On the other hand, the governor does have some powers that fall to him exclusively, such as appointing certain judges. Finally, Bill Richardson's administration in New Mexico was particularly influential in the areas of education and energy.
