legislation cannot become law unless passed by both houses of congress and signed by the president.

Well, duh. I get what you're saying.

- just google "schoolhouse rock" and "I'm just a bill" it will explain in great detail how our system works.

I saw that, among others, dozens of times when I was a kid in the mid-late 1970s

I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill, and I'm sitting here on Captiol hill....:-)

Conjunction junction, whats your function...

As much as you and so many others would like to have a clear-cut, binary, black or white separation of good and bad as it applies to our elected officials, it just doesn't work that way.

I'm aware of how it works. Are you aware of how liberals work?

What do you mean? My original points are still valid.

Realistically, there is almost no chance of even of of the two branches of congress changing hands....

And

unless you believe that bush will completely cave, none of the democrats' legislation can become law.
