SC says no fixed deadlines for President, governors to sign bills
The Supreme Court has decided not to set strict deadlines for the President or Governors to approve bills.
The judges felt that forcing a timeline would mess with the balance of power between government branches.
They also made it clear that "deemed assent"—where a bill is automatically approved after a certain period—just isn't how our Constitution works.
Why does this matter?
This ruling keeps checks and balances in place, making sure Governors can't stall laws forever but also aren't rushed by courts.
If there's an unreasonable delay without explanation, courts can step in—but only to push for a decision, not judge the bill itself.
It's all about keeping lawmaking fair and protecting both state rights and federalism, while still holding leaders accountable for timely action.
