I'm going to have to majorly disagree with this. I mean majorly.
NO ONE should have any special privilages that would allow them to exert such a large amount of power over the group. If the chapter as a whole reaches an agreement, to which a majority of the chapter (whether 50% or 2/3 or whatever) has voted in the affirmative for, then there is no reason whatsoever that could ever be created where the President should have to veto a chapter decision. There is absolutely no reason to include such a provision. Such powers just totally circumvents the process of having a chapter meeting.
I think that an opposite statement should be made in your constitution: one saying that all initiated members are equal, and that only as a matter of social economy and efficiency are there chapter officers, and these positions are open to all initiated members who have the desire to take on the challenges of them.
