• Resumen

  • For the last two decades, the death penalty in the US has steadily declined.During this time, governors have at rare but crucial moments participated inshaping the death penalty in their respective states by issuing vetoes.Gubernatorial vetoes have in some cases been used not only to preventabolition from occurring, but also to bar the state from enacting legislationto expand it. However, little is known about what factors influence thedecision to veto these often very controversial bills. Analysis of a uniquedataset of death penalty bills covering years 1999–2018 suggests that agovernor’s individual attributes, as well as institutional factors, have an effecton the likelihood of a veto in the legislative context of the death penalty,with different aspects of time in office, experience and partisanship being ofparticular relevance.
