I never thought it would work and it didn't, but "I understand" why he tried.
P.S. Republicans cannot just do whatever they want with >50% in the Houese and Senate, you need a super-majority for that or........Dems that will work with you.

I think you should pick up the book. Why is Bush the only president in roughly 190 years that has not exercised a single veto?!?!?!!?
