Duh, The President Makes The Laws.

PARENTS AND TEACHERS DO YOUR JOB!!! I got into discussion with a bright young man that was a junior in high school. He told me that he thought that the President made legislation and laws for Congress to approve and that if Congress made a law he didn't like then he would not allow the law. So, I politely gave a short explanation of our system of government, the checks and balances and the fact that the President does not have the power to make laws, only Congress has that power under the Constitution. He can veto legislation, but the Congress has the ability to override that veto. This is simply appalling. No wonder our government and bureaucracy appears to be running amok, we are not teaching the basics of what it means to live in a Constitutional Representative Republic. How many of you, including parents and teachers, have taken the time to read the Constitution, The Bill Of Rights and the additional Amendments and explain to your children? Just as I thought, not many.
