Although I do not agree with the CFR bill, whose responsibility is it to determine the constitutionality of a bill? The executive or judicial branch? Can a president legitimately veto a bill because it MAY prove to be unconstitutional?

Read the NR piece referenced in this article. The upshot is that members of each branch swears to protect the Constitution, and therefore should act on what they believe to be constitutional. The courts, of course, get the final say, but the point is that they shouldn't be the only ones considering whether a bill is constitutional.

He can. However, at the same time, I think Bush stikes me as the type who wants to kill this thing PERMANENTLY. I think there have been quiet, behind the scenes discussions, and this thing is KNOWN to be DOA at SCOTUS.

To tell you the truth, if we can kill it permanently, it beats having to fight year after year after year, because a veto would leave us dealing potentially with President Hillary signing the bill, then having someone left-wing hacks as Solicitor General and Attorney General.

He can veto it because the pattern of the print reminds him of a particular plot of grass that he doesn't like.
