 three  calendar  legislative days prior to its final passage, unless the
 governor, or the acting governor, shall have certified, under his or her
 hand and the seal of the state, the facts which in his  or  her  opinion
 necessitate  an  immediate vote thereon, in which case it must neverthe-
 less be upon the desks of the members in  final  form,  not  necessarily
 printed,  before  its  final  passage;  nor  shall  any  bill, EXCEPT AS
