Power of Congress

They all felt like dolts

Even with a substantial landslide in the November elections
nothing to reverse the ever accelerating slide into full on
socialism will occur. Buy those old school filament light bulbs
while you can.

Up to $1 Billion in U.S. Aid Winds Up In Taliban Coffers

As much as $1 billion in U.S. aid has been diverted from programs meant to stabilize Afghanistan and has wound up in the hands of the Taliban and other insurgency groups, war analysts and government auditors say.

In fact, they say, graft has gotten so bad that the U.S. government estimates that only about 10 percent of the aid budget actually reaches the people in Afghanistan who need it.

Immigration is DOWN. there is more of a presence of US personnel on the border than ever before. there was MORE immigration and LESS personnel under the previous administration. why weren't you whining more then?

Marines are guarding the poppy fields.

wining? I don't characterize my views express that way. Wrong premise, but
I did voice just as much displeasure during the Bush admin.
It's documented here, if you care to go back and look.

1billion a year has been given to the Pakistani gov. from the beginning, Every year.
Musharraf played Bush like a fiddle, and when he lost the election, it still continued even until this day.
Both Bush and Obama knew money has been diverted for years now, and
still they continue.
No country can fund both sides of a war, and expect not to go bankrupt.
Bin Laden also knew what was to come from the beginning, and that's
why he said we soon forget about 9/11, because he knew we were going
to do exactly what we're doing, and break the banks.

That last part is some thoery, but the facts support it mostly.

Does Congress still have the power to override a veto?
Click to expand...

Yes.

catocom said:
What about a Presidential Directive?
Click to expand...

No. They need to create legislation to override a Presidential Executive Order (PEO). PEOs have gotten out of control. They were originally to give the President the power to control the Executive Branch. Unfortunately, Presidents over time have used them to create whole departments with independent regulatory power outside of the Congress. The EEOC, WPA, and Department of Homeland Security are some examples.

Read about the PEO HERE

Is it just the House, or Senate also?

That would be both houses.

Section. 7.

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

The powerlessness of of the electorate.

1.) Pass legislation to be able to override executive orders.

2.) Take another hit off the crack pipe.
 
no 2.) is ..
Start repealing wastful gov. programs, and shrink the size of gov.

Theeeeen, pour another drink, and stiffen upper lip....
 
Passing anything is going to be difficult with Obama in the white house.

The house may become veto-proof, the Senate is another story. However there is a slim chance of getting some converts from those up for reelection It could happen depending on the issue. We will be be putting bill on the 'Wons' desk and getting them tossed back. Defunding will be the only path for now. (Bringing more EO's from the imam).

It's going to get uncomfortable whatever happens.
 
lol, we may see some fist fights break out like in some of those oriental countries.

If the house sends a 2/3 veto override to the senate, you better believe
there's gonna be pressure.

plus, Obama is going to looking ahead for re-election. I don't care what he says,
he wants it.

Researchers Find the 'Liberal Gene'
Don't hold liberals responsible for their opinion -- they can't help themselves.

A new study has concluded that ideology is not just a social thing, it's built into the DNA, borne along by a gene called DRD4. Tagged "the liberal gene," DRD4 is the first specific bit of human DNA that predisposes people to certain political views, the study's authors claim.

Yes sir, it will be. That is all the more reason to do it. Legislate every agenda item from the right (none of them pansy assed liberal do-gooder RINO's please) & force the President to veto. Let the people see who is the one in the way of the peoples ideals.
 
Nope. The veto override is specifically provided for in the Constitution
 
Tax cuts? You think a lame duck, ass-kicked Congress is going to do anything the citizens want?
