does this mean no Republican can introduce a new bill, even W?

The President is not responisble for, nor can he introduce legislation.

Before you start criticizing, you really ought to read up on how our system of government works.

it was a genuine question- you're obviuosly hurting after the result and a little sensitive! :wink:

Not really.

I look on the election as a way for the Republican party to get back to its roots.

You, OTOH, have made reference after reference to Bush this, Bush that. Remember, galloping green goober, that this country is a republic, and nothing happens at the command of any one person.

Technically correct, but as you are fond of saying, not the way it works in the real world.

In the real world, if the White House wants to introduce a bill, the White House drafts a bill, hands it to a friendly Congressman and a friendly Senator, and it gets introduced. Technically, it's not W who introduces it. But in actual, real-world fact, it's the White House that drafted it, and it's the White House's bill.

More likely, though, is that the White House works with one or more friendly Congressmen and/or Senators in the drafting process. The vast majority of the work will get done by people inside the Administration, with some comments and tweaking by Congressional staff, and perhaps some negotiation on specific important details between the Congressmen and Senators and higher-level legislative aides (or even the Chief of Staff).

thanks! :thumb:

Watch out, any and all contradictions or statements suggesting implying or resulting in a contradiction will be seen as grounds for considering the person guilty of double mindedness, fuzzy thinking or any other excuse required to deny them the right to express themselves.

How is this?

The damn liberal Democrats suck! Is that plain enough?

If and when there is another big terrorist attack and the Dems are sitting around with their left thumbs up their asses sounding “oh so” NPR smart, who will defend the honor of this country and of Western civilization itself?

as a matter of interest, what do you think triggers terror attacks?

is that so? - hang on a minute! - didn't someone just say the President can veto any motion? :thumb:

The President can veto any legislation passed by the Congress. The Congress can override that veto with a 2/3 majority vote.

It's generally crazy bastards with explosives strapped to themselves, box cutters in planes, sometimes nothing more than something on their shoe. Now and again it's an Irishman with a big bag of fertiliser who's grown tired of potatoes.

didn't somebody recently post:

The Congress and the House has to override that veto with a 2/3 majority vote.

with the Dem majority so slim in the Senate, the chances would be slim yes?

Because they are extremists who believe that the cause they follow is more important than human life and suffering. Because they do not value the lives of those who do not share their world view. Why does anybody kill?

Or maybe they just can't face any more potatoes.
