Presidents set Foreign policiesCongress (Senators & Representatives) set Domestic policies.Think about that when ya vote. or fill your gas tank..............
Congress can over-ride a Presidents veto , by a majority vote. This just happened with the "Farm Bill" that just passed in the last few days.I don't need to repeat what I posted earlier. It has been this way since the constitution was written. The problems we are dealing with here in this country right now..., those problems are not just the result of the current Presidential administration. This situation we are in right now, has also been caused by the Congress. I won't even go into the results of programs & treaties signed by earlier Presidential administrations. (NAFTA is a good example of crappy programs. By NAFTA sending jobs & funds to other countries & taking away from Americans is not a good idea, it just plain "sucks".) I don't know how other folks think, but I do know one thing... When the new President is sworn into office in January 2009, it isn't gonna change what has been going on with Congress. Congress needs to "step up to the plate" & start giving us some RBI's & a home run or two. They don't have any trouble giving themselves a raise for COLaS (Cost of Living Allowances), & when we, their constituents, start to "crab"(b***h) about it, the members of Congress say, "OK I won't take a raise this year", & then they vote so that they can have a 4 day work week instead of a 5 day one. I wish I could do that. Keep the same pay for a 40 hour week But only work 32. I'll take that any time. I'll be voting this year for president. I'm gonna vote for a Veteran of the US Armed Services. I know who I would want to answer the phone at 3AM , if there was trouble in the world that could cause trouble for the USA. As a veteran myself, that is the only choice that I can see, given the choices I have to vote on. You want "change" in the USA, then change Congress' way of thinking. The President who gets in office, really isn't gonna change much here at home. Presidents usually don't submit Bills to Congress for a vote for passage. They wait for Congress to submit bills for Passage and decide whether to veto or not. BTW, How's the new President, whomever is elected, gonna change anything? They don't control the Senators, nor the Representatives we elect to Congress. I don't see the President, or the members of Congress, as being Democrat,Republican,Libertarian,Green, etc.. I see them as people who were voted to do a job to represent us, their fellow Americans, to oversee our government, & make sure that decisions are made in the best interest of the citizens of our own U.S.A. To keep our idea of an independent, free, democratic nation & it's ideals, as a "beacon" to those in the World who do not have the same situation that we do, in the countries that they live in. Vote for who ya want to vote for. That's the great thing about our country, we really can do it. I hope the best person for the job, gets in there. Vote, if ya don't, Ya can't complain.this country deserves alot better than more of the same,the current administrations policy's both foreigner and domestic have proved to be absolute failures and i for one dint want a president who cant see whats wrong with our current policies

...but that he isn't very well-versed in Economics. This country doesn't need another fear-monger, war President. It needs an intelligent, and diplomatic President who understands Economics during this recessionary period...
Yes, congress can over-ride a veto, but only with a 2/3 majority vote. If the Republicans agree with the President, than the veto will stand everytime. I agree that many of the problems this country is facing, stem from congress' actions, and that is exactly why the people have been voting to change congress. Take a look at all of the recent congressional elections, including the two recent special elections. The people are resoundingly saying that they are tired of the Republicans, and they are voting Democrats into seats that have always been held by Republicans. The people want change, and based on the congressional elections over the last 5 years, they're getting change. I will continue to vote Democratic, so we can hopefully get this country back on track. Congress has been rebuilding the team for a few years now, and I think after one more year of Democratic wins, we'll have an impressive lineup that will be hitting plenty of RBIs and Homeruns. I'll be voting this year for President as well; and I will not be voting for the hot headed 72 year old, who admits that he knows the military well, but that he isn't very well-versed in Economics. This country doesn't need another fear-monger, war President. It needs an intelligent, and diplomatic President who understands Economics during this recessionary period. Besides, at 72 years old, I doubt that McCain will be waking up for a 3 am phone call, unless of course it coincides with his bowel movements. People can vote for whoever they'd like, but I hope they will consider this country's decline over the last 8 years, and vote Democratic. I will be.
Now there are hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians, and over 4000 dead American soldiers.
They have attacked our Constitutional rights, which should be a concern to every American. They have ignored the Geneva Convention; which puts our members of the Armed Forces in even greater danger in the future.
