The Make Peanut Great Again Amendment

1. The Lincoln constitution shall be amended as follows:

Every bill passed by the Council, before it becomes law, shall first be sent to the governor. If he approves of it, he should sign it and it will become law; but if he disapproves he may refer the bill to a general referendum. The Council may override the reference of the governor by a majority three-fifths vote of all elected MCs. If the governor fails to take any action on a bill within 120 hours of its passage, it shall become law.

An Amendment to settle some Discord discussion on the stability of the Lincoln Governor. I urge the Council to adopt it, I won't become a dictator I swear.
