The senate and the people of Rome, had received a large inheritance from King Attalus III of Pergumun, which Tiberius wanted to use for compensating the veterans Romans, for their loyal services to Roman in the form a huge tracts of land. Now Tiberius ran for tribune of the people and was elected in 133, even though this was not common practice among the military personal.
There were other tribune who were against Tiberius, "Land Act". I find it interesting that Tiberius's men grabbed the other tribune who were against him to prevent them from personally delivering their " veto voice publicly" in the assembly, whereas the Land Act passed.
Our government today, has only one person who has the veto power if a bill makes it pass the Senate and the House of Representatives, that office is the President of the United States.
