Since the USSC has already ruled that 'line item veto' is unconstitutional, the president appears to be using a similar process to bypass the wishes of congress. All this means is that Congress is failing in its own responsibility to hold the president accountable by censure or impeachment, something I said in an earlier post.

Hence the problem with the interpretation of the constitution today. The constitution was not written so that only scholars could understand it. It was written so that ordinary men could understand it. As a man with a huge interest in becoming a lawyer, do not be surprised if I do PM you for information.
