Thanks for raising this Julian. Without weighing on the veto itself, it seems that there was justification provided, so the veto is valid as long as the justification is accepted. I think this is the general principle to be applied when determining the validity of a veto. IMO, this settles (2) and rephrases (1) as "is the justification provided for the veto in this case valid?"
