Library of Congress, All legislation is a mater of public record, but you sure have your work cut out for you. Pork spending is a day by day thing. The Senate passed a really fat bill today that President Bush has said he will veto. I hope he does. He sure hasn't done that yet. This time I hope he gets it right.

Bush, as we have seen, is loathe to use his veto power.  It will be interesting to see if this changes.

All pieces of legislation (bills) must be signed by the president to be inacted as a law.  If a president vetoes a bill, the Congress can simply override the veto by a two-thirds vote in both the House (290) and Senate (67).  The Congress raises funds through taxation.

So Fine is a moron.  Ignore her idiotic answer.\n\nHere is the right answer:\n\n1.  Congress writes the laws but cannot pass them nor determine their Constitutionality.\n\n2.  The President signs the laws but cannot write them nor determine their constitutionality.\n\n3.  The Supreme Court determines the laws constitutionality but cannot write them nor sign them\n\n\nEnd of story.

If both the presidency and the congress are of the same party then it would seem that the party should be able to create/pass laws that favor that party's views. This can hold true for many of the bills/laws presented - congress creates and votes them in and the president does not veto it and signs them into law. Not all bills/laws get passed that way but it would seem easier...\n\nWhen the presidency and congress are of different parties there tends to be more debate/filibuster actions in congress and the presidential vetoes if the written document seems to favor one party's view over the other.\n\nWith the Dems now controlling the Majority of both houses, it will be more difficult for the President to "push" his views/agenda/wishes through the congress to create bills/laws that he wants to be enacted...\n\nHope this helps...\n\nFor instance, Jimmy Carter was a relatively unknown politician when he became President so the congress was very reluctant to create/pass any bills/laws that he desired so as an effect he has been viewed as an "relatively" ineffective president and that may have contributed to why he was not re-elected even though there is a general consensus that he was one of the top intelligent presidents of the U.S.

By an act of Congress,that is both houses vote on it.  The president can declare a national holiday for a one time period, but to make it so, it must go to the Congress for approval.

You can check the White House website or the Congressional website.  He has yet to veto any bills that have been presented to him, so if it cleared Congress, it became a law.

As the previous responder said, a line-item veto is used to veto only a part of a bill, especially appropriations bills, which can contain a huge number of provisions. Congress often likes to insert controversial measures into these, because they know the President will likely not veto the whole bill. Line-item veto is not allowed for the president by the United States Constitution, but was briefly used by Clinton when Congress passed the Line-item Veto act of 1996. It was ruled unconstitutional after its first use.

No, there are many things that congress does that should be vetoed. The veto power is an important power in our government... even if Bush refuses to veto anything. It gives the President the power to curtail congress. An example of when it should be used has been in the news recently, where congress wants to stick all sorts of pet projects into the spending bill for the troops in Iraq, and pay for some of the Katrina relief. Congress critters seem to think that if they stick their stupid projects, like the railroad to nowhere, or the bridge to nowhere in Alaska, into a bill like this, they will automatically get approved. That needs to stop, and the veto power allows the president to stop it, if he chooses to.\n\nCheers :)

It really doesn't matter because nothing is going to get accomplished over the next 2 years. Anything Bush sends to Congress will get voted down. Anything Congress sends Bush will get vetoed, and they don't have enough of a majority to override, thus we have a stalemate for the next 2 years.......
