Section 3. MAYOR'S APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL; OVERRIDE VETO.
   The Mayor shall have presented for approval every proposed ordinance, resolution or act creating rights or duties, and if the Mayor approves, shall within ten days from presentation sign it and deposit it with the City Clerk, and if the Mayor disapproves, the Mayor shall likewise within ten days return it to the Council with objections and the proposal shall not be effective unless two-thirds of the entire membership of the Council at the next regularly scheduled meeting approve the proposal. If the Mayor shall fail to approve or disapprove any such ordinance, resolution or act within ten days after presentation it shall nevertheless be in full force and effect as if the Mayor had approved the same. The Mayor's veto power shall not extend to any measure approved by the voters in accordance with the initiative procedure of this Charter and such measure shall be effective on the date approved by the voters or on any other effective date as stated in the measure.
