PRESIDENT>......Does nothing?

from JoeUser Forums
President.......What really does the president do? Sit there and sign laws and bills....and then takes all of the heat for everything the economy does wrong. Congress and Senate run everything. All the president is, is a figure head. We should vote for the house and the senate....not the president. Morons says that bush screwed everything up when in fact he didnt. Tell me your thoughts.

You obviously have very little understanding of the government.

Here's a website you can go to if you want to learn more. It has pictures and everything.

Well, technically you're right Jeffers. In fact if you think about it, the president can be beat down by the other two branches...even if he vetos a law it can be passed by 2/3 congress majority vote....if I remember correctly....not a whole lot of duties for the president except for some decision making with the help of a crapload of advisors....

And tell your civics teacher to spank you.


P'raps it should be the civics teacher who gets spanked if that's what they're getting out of the class...


..geez, I'm not a citizen of the US and I know the Prez does a bit more than make a few decisions...


Oh, and if you want a good example of a figurehead, go read about the Queen of England.

Aye, you might be right.

Yup, good reccomendation. You'll see the differences between "figurehead" and "leader with actual powers."

You might try taking a crack at the US Constitution while you're at it. Pay special attention to that part about the "Executive Branch."

I'll give you a link to that one, too: Link

No, I don't mind if you borrow from Sean Hannity (or anybody else) to call me a great American. I happen to feel the same way about you, no matter where we differ.

lol why did you get drunk? now you cant answer the question. Are teachers have taught us about the goverment for a long time.

Ummm......In think you mean 'our' as in 'belonging to us', don't you?  Otherwise that sentence doesn't make much sense...


..and if that's any indication of what your teachers are teaching you, then Myrr's right, they do deserve a spanking.
