pass a bill four times in the face of overwhelming opposition by the public and even moreso by his own party?

$hit in the game. Someone has him by the short ones and he has to deliver "or else."

And if we are going to be effective in DEFEATING him, Americans need to know who that someone IS and their agenda.

WHO? The bipartisan, globalist OPEN BORDERS LOBBY.

WHY? The creation of a NORTH AMERICAN UNION.

It goes without saying. I have one list of the lobbyists (aka "trade associations") supporting Amnesty, and no doubt they are applying pressure to everyone. But Bush (as demonstrated by his past obesiance to Vincente Fox) may be looking at something beyond the normal arm-twisting.

Regardless, my original question stands: has any other President in history *ever* pressed a bill four separate times, even though his own party despises and rejects it?

It might have happened, but I really doubt it.
