When should a president veto a bill?

At the very least, when the bill contains provisions that are clearly unconstitutional and signing it would violate the President's oath of office.

For those of us who learn from history........Bush should of asked his father what happens when you wimp on a campaign promise to "take an issue off the table". It might be true that americans don't give a rats about cfr, but they usually care about campaign promises!!!

Look for bush's poll numbers to drop as conservatives register their displeasure, followed by demorats posing as conservative groups using the issue against him, convincing others that republicans cannot be trusted.

It worked before!

I can certainly agree and identify with that

When he knows it won't be a big fight, and that the senate won't overturn his veto with a vote. This way he gets what he wants out of the bill and what is garbage will be dumped. Then the liberals can't yell and scream and make something out of nothing.

I dunno Jewels...this one leaves me cold.
