(a) The Mayor shall be the executive head of the City. He shall have no vote in the proceedings of the Council, except to break a tie. He shall have veto power and shall be the presiding officer of the Council.
(b) The Mayor shall have power to veto any ordinance or resolution adopted by the Council by writing thereon the word "vetoed" and then signing and dating the same, at any time before the beginning of the next regular meeting. Any ordinance or resolution not so marked by the time the next Council meeting is called to order shall stand approved.
(c) In the event of the veto of any ordinance or resolution the Mayor shall, during the next regular Council meeting, inform the Council of such veto, and may at such time state his reasons and grounds for such veto.
(d) Any member of the Council then at such meeting or at any of the next two succeeding meetings may make a motion to override the Mayor's veto, which motion must have an affirmative vote of four of the six Councilmen to prevail. If the motion prevails, the ordinance or resolution shall stand as originally adopted; if not, the ordinance or resolution shall be null and void.
(e) He shall be a conservator of the peace and may exercise within the City the powers conferred upon sheriffs to suppress disorder, and shall have the power to command the assistance of all able-bodied citizens to aid in the enforcement of the ordinances of the City, and to suppress riots and disorderly conduct.
(f) He shall authenticate by his signature such instruments as the Council, this Charter or the laws of the State of Michigan or the United States shall require.
