What is the point of negotiating with one another to ensure that certain provisions are left in a bill and others are removed when you know that the president can undo your carefully-considered compromise with a flick of his veto pen?<BR/><BR/>It doesn't matter who is in charge--for the good of the system, we shouldn't give any one man or woman that level of control over the operation of the government.<BR/><BR/>Although if a human-animal hybrid were elected president and used his or her tail to hold the veto pen, that might be OK.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599030959604499896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649675.post-1138833445302083742006-02-01T16:37:00.000-06:002006-02-01T16:37:00.000-06:00What is wrong with line item vetos?

Because that could happen down the road. I think line item should be there no matter who's in office, but I'll tell you in a couple months where I really stand after get to disect that case in my Con Law class. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649675.post-1138830480100211372006-02-01T15:48:00.000-06:002006-02-01T15:48:00.000-06:00I think you're missing the main point of the speec...I think you're missing the main point of the speech, my friend.
