No bill shall be deemed to have been passed by the votes of two-thirds of all the members present, nor to have been passed when threefifths of all the members elected to each house were present, unless so certified by the presiding officer of each house. 1 R. S., 375, § 25; Laws of 1847, 276, § 1. This provision we have modified by extending it to the case of bills to the passage of which a two-third vote of all the members present is required. That it should be made applicable to that case appears from 1 R. S., 374, § 16. § 50. The secretary of state shall receive every bill passed, and indorse upon it his certificate of the day, month and year when it became a law, and deposit the same, so indorsed, in his office; and such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein declared. 1 R.

The addition, "by a two-third vote" or "three-fifths being present," in the printed volume, is presumptive evidence that the bill was duly certified to have been so passed, and the absence of such addition is presumptive evidence that it was not so certified. 1 R.
