US Election Discussion

@Flonne's second paragraph: I was thinking more about powers of the executive like the "line-item veto" that could be used to enact policy or actions. Not the "line-item veto" itself, but presidential powers along the lines.

Ah, that's more reasonable. They bundle so many things into those goddamn bills; a prime example is 6464, which I posted yesterday. The first page is all hot button issues that people in the senate will be paying attention to, then when you flip to the second page on, suddenly it's a bunch of pomegranate like "1% tax on all electronic transactions" and "after 2013, a 3% tax on all houses sold". Those things need to GO, regardless of the content of the main segment of the bill; they do not belong, they do not fit with the rest of the bill, they should not be bundled with it.
