An excellent reply and analysis JH2. I do have one question though and it's with serious intent..not sarcasm.

When should a president veto a bill?
...especially a president of principle and integrity

A couple of great posts about our president. These are the kind of analysis and insight that keep me coming here as opposed to the knee jerk "I'll never vote for Bush again" posts we read far to often.

Thanks guys.

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.

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.
