[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4705457, member: 24302"] Presidents can present bills to be taken up by Congress(or not). But there are separation of powers. The President doesn't dictate what he wants and the Congress just rubber stamps it. The two houses reach a compromise on a bill then present it to the president to either sign into law or veto it. If it's a bill the president wants passed he can actively encourage its passing by getting things out into it that will get votes. Obamacare is a prime example of all kinds of language(pork, etc) inserted that would make this Congressman or that Senator happy in order to get their vote. [/QUOTE]
