“It’s like an appeal. Because the parliament holds the highest power to pass legislation in Mongolia, it can’t be completely annulled just because the president has vetoed it.

Batsaikhan also said that many of the provisions on supposed content violations by the new law were actually covered by existing laws. She expressed concern over having these provisions covered by another law, particularly one which vests the power to a unit of government – the proposed “public relations unit” to be created under Mongolia’s Public Center for Combating Cyber Attacks and Violations. It concentrates broad powers on a single unit of state.
Now that the President has vetoed it, parliament needs to review their previous decision, Baatar explained in a message to Rappler. Two-thirds of the parliamentarians present at the session will then have to vote in favor of the veto to have it annulled.
