Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. It was my understanding that the Congress makes the laws. The President enacts the laws. And the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court reviews these laws when they are challenged.

President Bush has said that he thinks there are some problems with this bill, constitutionally. But he cannot just sit on this bill. He must either sign or veto. I believe that this bill is veto proof. Since he is damned if he does sign it, or damned if he doesn't sign it, he may as well sign it and get it kicked over to the Supremes. THEY will decide the constitutionality of this bill. ONCE AND FOR ALL. He will have taken away the "issue" of CFR and he will have McCain off his back and the other left wingers and Rinos off his back.

Am I missing something here? I don't see what else he can do. Anyone???

The only problem with this is Bush's intent.

Bush proactively supported and indeed begged Congress to send him a CFR Bill.
