Every ordinance, resolution or order of the Common Council shall, immediately upon its passage, enrollment, attestation and signature by the Clerk-Treasurer be presented by the Clerk-Treasurer to the Mayor and a record of the time of such presentation made by the Clerk-Treasurer, and if the Mayor approves it, he shall enter his approval thereon and sign the same and file it, so signed in the office of the Clerk-Treasurer; if the Mayor does not approve it, he shall return it to the Clerk-Treasurer with his objections in writing within ten days after receiving it, and the Clerk-Treasurer shall then present it to the Common Council at its next regular meeting. If the Mayor should fail to discharge his duty by approving or disapproving such ordinance, resolution or order within ten days, such failure shall be deemed a disapproval. In all cases of disapproval by the Mayor such ordinance, resolution or order shall not become a law, unless at the next Council meeting after the time named for the Mayor's action, the Common Council again passes it by a two-thirds vote of all the members-elect.
