Can someone answer a question for me? It keeps being said that McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time. How can this be? Has Bush cast one single vote for a Bill? As I understand it the President doesn’t vote for a Bill. He can either sign the Bill into Law or stamp the Bill with a Veto. If there is a tie in the Senate for a Bill the VICE President will cast the tie breaking vote but not the President.
So, again I ask how can McCain vote with Bush?
You’re kidding, right? No, the President does not vote on bills from the Congress. Once Congress passes a bill the President signs it into law. It is very clear what bills the President does and does not support, so it easy to determine who votes “with” or “against” the President.
