Congress still needs to APPROVE or DISAPPROVE of any trade agreements Bush negotiates-- they just can't modify them, it's yes or no. Bush does not have lone "sway" over anything.

Not only do I like this idea, I wish it could catch fire and wind up effecting other things the two branches deal with and that would be when a bill is introduced for "X" then Joe Congressman cannot add money for his pet project "Y" to the bill.

We need some way to stop all of this pork!!

The line-item veto is a dead issue with the GOP, along with term limits, balanced budget amendment, etc. etc.
