I have a serious question. I don't understand the American system so bear with me. If Bush wants this passed and Republicans have the majority in Congress, what is stopping the bill from passing?

He's President of the United States, not a dictator. He can't make a Senator or a Congressman do anything they don't want to do, even if they are in the same party and have the majority.
