|

San Anrtonio – Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson told attendees at a campaign dinner here that as governor he took the art of vetoing bills to another level.

"I think I may have vetoed more legilslation than the other 49 governors in the country combined. I vetoed 750 bills, I had thousands of line-item vetos," he said. 

Johnson noted that his favorite veto was reserved for a bill that would have required pet store owners to exercise dogs and cats.

Watch as the Libertarian Party presidential nominee talks about vetoing the "dog and cat exercise bill" and the joy of the veto.
