 has within that time finally adjourned the session at which the bill was passed, it shall not
 become law. If he disapproves, and the legislature continues the session at which the bill was
 passed, he shall return it within such 14-day period with his objections, to the house in which
 it originated. That house shall enter such objections in full in its journal and reconsider the bill.
 If two-thirds of the members elected to and serving in that house pass the bill notwithstanding
 the objections of the governor, it shall be sent with the objections to the other house for
 reconsideration. The bill shall become law if passed by two-thirds of the members elected to
 and serving in that house. The vote of each house shall be entered in the journal with the votes
 and names of the members voting thereon. If any bill is not returned by the governor within
 such 14-day period, the legislature continuing in session, it shall become law as if he had
 signed it.
