Bush doesn't veto enough pork spending, and even dreams some up himself,
but he's 1000 times better than the tax-and-spend, soak-the-WORKING-rich,
UN-loving, nuclear-freeze-loving, abortion-loving, lying-his-ass-off,
French-loving gigolo from Taxachusetts. If Bush doesn't win this election
handily, then America's not the strong America that I grew up in. To John
Kerry, we're just a large dumb France with too many weapons. F*ck that ****.

I wish the President had a line item veto.

I'd support a constitutional amendment for that.

You'd also support a constitutional amendment to remove the
requirement for an election.

Since constitutional amendments take forever, and almost never get out of
the Congress, trying to use the amendment process would most likely just
end up in complete unresolvable gridlock. But if President John Kerry wants
to cancel the 2008 election, because his high-tax big-spending economy's in
the toilet, and terrorist bombs are going off all over the place, then he'd
most likely have the old billionaire wife buy-off some military brass and
declare Marshall Law. That's what his old buddy, Fidel, would do. What the
hell, just have Fidel run the place. After four years of President Kerry
we'd never know the difference.


-----------------------------------

The Amendment Process

There are essentially two ways spelled out in the Constitution for how it
can be amended. One has never been used.

The first method is for a bill to pass both halves of the legislature, by a
two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it goes
on to the states. This is the route taken by all current amendments.
Because of some long outstanding amendments, such as the 27th, Congress
will normally put a time limit (typically seven years) for the bill to be
approved as an amendment (for example, see the 21st and 22nd).

The second method prescribed is for a Constitutional Convention to be
called by two-thirds of the legislatures of the States, and for that
Convention to propose one or more amendments. These amendments are then
sent to the states to be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures or
conventions. This route has never been taken, and there is discussion in
political science circles about just how such a convention would be
convened, and what kind of changes it would bring about.

Regardless of which of the two proposal routes is taken, the amendment must
be approved by three-fourths of states. The amendment as passed may specify
whether the bill must be passed by the state legislatures or by a state
convention. See the Ratification Convention Page for a discussion of the
make up of a convention. Amendments are sent to the legislatures of the
states by default. Only one amendment, the 21st, specified a convention. In
any case, passage by the legislature or convention is by simple majority.

It is interesting to note that at no point does the President have a role
in the formal amendment process (though he would be free to make his
opinion known). He cannot veto an amendment proposal, nor a ratification.

His billionaire wife who was asked to run as a Republican??

She's no dummy. She knows which way the wind blows, and she ain't no

And, the Republicans loved her. Loved her father too,
who gave lots to the party.

You're just another idiot.
