First off, here is what you stated: "Ummmm, President Bush cannot "present a bill" to Congress or anyone else. He is the Chief Executive and cannot create a bill because that's the job of the legislature. Didja ever take a civics class?-- You know-- 3 branches of government, each with seperate powers because that's the way the founding fathers created the government in the Constitution. Here in Texas, kids study those facts in 7th grade."
When you make an erroneous statement like that publically on this forum, I have a legitimate right to respond to this post of yours.
Here is what I stated back: "Of course the initial step in the legislative process is the authorship of a bill and its introduction into Congress. Although only a member of Congress can formally introduce a bill, proposals for new laws come from many different sources, which include individual citizens, special-interest groups, newspaper editorials, congressional committees, and yes, even the Executive Branch.
You stated that the Chief Executive, who would be President Bush, could not create a bill, because "that is the job of the legislature" Clara Lou, anyone, including private citizens may write a bill, and that is why I responded in the appropriate manner to your post.
I then concluded my post with an appropriate clincher statement: "While it is true that the fetal stem cell rules were inducted during the Clinton Administration, that does not exuse President Bush from taking his case against this directly to the American people. Change does not come by means of apathetic leaders, unfortunately."
Looking back at my previous post, I then concluded that I should further articulate my point that anyone may write a bill and introduce it to their legislators, which is contrary to what you had stated in post #148.
I stated: "Speaking about a know it all attitude, a concerned and informed private citizen may suggest bills to their legislators, or they may study the legal format of various bills and actually submit the text of a proposed law to their representative or senators for introduction into Congress. A individual citizen can consult publications such as the daily Congressional Record for help in writing a bill. This publication and the Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report are also quite helpful as to the current legislative activities of Congress. Just for your information."
My response to your inaccurate post was completely appropriate. Remember, you stated in post #148: "He is the Chief Executive and cannot create a bill because that's the job of the legislature. Didja ever take a civics class?"
Again, my response to you was completely appropriate, given your inaccurate statement in post #148. Then you stated to me: "Bwa hahahaha!! You just can't resist, can you? (It must be genetic.) More know-it-all-and-off-topic information from FIJC. If you have nothing to say that's on topic, you bring up something that's tangential to the topic. The whole point of my discussion with the other poster was that the President of the United States cannot "introduce a bill." What an individual citizen can do was not part of the topic. You are so regularly pathetic-- "I'm a such a smawt wittew giwl-- see what I know?"-- and in front of an audience of thousands. BTW, you never did answer my question: Is your know-it-all condition genetic or behavioral? There are already two votes for genetic."
You curiously failed to remember you stated that the President could not write a bill, when he in fact can, anyone can do this.
You then accused me of being off the topic, when I was merely responding to an erroneous statement in one of your posts. Then you feel that you can ask me if my knowledge is genetic or a product of enculturation, and not consider it to be off the topic? I am not the one off the topic here, at least I have the dignity to not lob personal attacks at you.
Looks like somebody has been copying and pasting right out of the Political Science 101 textbook, doesn't it?
Book learning. *Sigh*
