You want the president to veto the federal budget until congress passes legislation that overturns the 1993 law. How do you think that would play out? The D's in the senate would never overturn the 93 law.

I never claimed it was advisable, my friend. Holding the government budget hostage has been done by Presidents, and the Congress, in the past.
