That's quite an overreach. How about McCain-Feingold? How about a myriad of bills loaded down with pork. If the President isn't the bad guy who vetoes overspending don't expect anyone in Congress to try.
Agreed re: the thread topic - he should and will veto this one.
"That's quite an overreach. How about McCain-Feingold?"
McCain-Feingold was veto proof in 1 house and 1 vote short in the other house. It likely would have been overriden in both. The house rules are such that someone can vote one way at one time, then bring the vote back because "he or she changed his or her mind"
"How about a myriad of bills loaded down with pork. If the President isn't the bad guy who vetoes overspending don't expect anyone in Congress to try."
The US Constitution says that Congress holds the purse strings. I guess you think that the President should be held accountable for the bills Congress passes. Why not hold Congress accountable for what they pass?
