OK, someone explain this to me, because I'm obviously too ignorant to understand. In the law making process, Congress passes a bill by majorities in both houses. The bill goes to the President to sign or veto. There is no "line-item" veto, so he has to either accept the bill as presented or veto the whole thing, right? Right???
I will spare everyone the "I won't do 'signing statements" video from the distant past - you know, 2008. GKSR4 Edited by George K, Dec 22 2011, 07:45 AM.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |
