Could Bush correctly veto Webb's legislation on constitutional grounds?

Are there acts of Congress which the President is constitutionally barred from vetoing ?

That would be a question for consitutional scholars.

The present question (moot, because the Senate has not voted in favor of Webb's bill) is whether the President can justify a veto on the spurious grounds that, as CIC, the President has exclusive warmaking power.

It would be an interesting case to present to the SC, but they will never get it.
