I think Pierre just misused the terminology perhaps. To veto something is to nix a bill ALREADY passed.
To kill a bill on the table is to TABLE a proposal.
Someone with more parliamentary procedural studies than I will have to look that difference up.
As there is nothing in the rules about a President having TABLING powers or not having them than I just fall back on the old "elastic clause" and assume he has. It could be an issue if misused but I don't believe it was misued at all in this instance. Especially since they voted anyways.
As always I trust Pierre et al up there.
