First off, on the veto. It doesnt work that way. Nor is a vote needed. Executive offices are funded by a spending bill each year. All congress needs to do in committee is refuse to put that spending bill to a vote. If no spending bill funds the VP office, its defunded. There’s nothing the president can do about it, as the expenditure of funds is the sole responsibility of the congress. If the government wants to spend money, there actually has to be a law. The president can not make laws. Therefore the congress has complete control here.

Secondly,
Anyone suggesting that the president could strong arm the situation using the military as Commander In Chief is suggesting that the constitution be suspended and the United States of America as we know it be overthrown by a dictator. I dont have much to say about this but.. wow.. Do people really think that way? Is this USA or 1940’s Germany? How could anyone WANT the army to overthrow the government and install a fascist oligarchy?

Wrong. Read the constitution.

I believe the neogoons are jumping dumbya’s ship till election time to get votes.
After that, it’ll be the same old con game.

They’re all alike.
They only work hard at two things, getting re-elected and stealing our money.

Then let him use it, Bigfoot in the Mouth. There are certainly better ways for the US to spend the money.

But i have to say i’m disappointed in most of you for actually responding to the trolls. Since when did uninformed speculation, rhetoric, insults and neanderthal debating tactics ever deserve such -albeit eloquent- attention? I’m looking at you Arthur_C and Zooey and the other seemingly mature and informed posters here.

Don’t get me wrong, i laughed out loud at the trouncing you gave them- or is it him? hahaha- However, I despaired at every attempt by you to make a reasonable arguement with such deliberately and obviously unreasonable (not to mention astoundingly unChristian) people. How could you not simply bring yourselves to ignore them and put your energy into discussing the possibilities of further action against an evidently inexperienced, incompetent and farcical leadership? I really would like to know. I once read something where, in reference to the freedom of speech amendment, someone said let no voice go unheard. Thats an admirable sentiment, but it does not mean that every voice has to be addressed.

If you feel i’ve no business posting here thats fine, i won’t post again. I just felt i should contribute something after reading 316 posts of fascinating lay American pseudo-political debate.

BTW- found this in the terms of use agreement: You agree to:

Christ, Cheney has 4.8 million in his “petty cash” fund in a cigar box around his office somewhere.

You Bush haters start salivating at the silliest things.

Then what? We have a privately funded executive branch.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
