There is either a separation of powers, or there isn't. He can sign or not sign. If he thinks that if he doesn't sign and the Legislature will override his veto, so I have to sign it, then he should make them do it.
First, you don't know what will happen when you kick the can down that road. The Legislature may end up not overriding the veto.
Second, the Legistlature then goes on the record with their vote. By claiming "duress" and signing it like its a foregone conclusion, he's just playing into the Leglisature's hand and protecting them from going on the record themselves.
Bad move.

The legislature already overode his veto, thus making it law.
