Technically, no. But in reality, yes. That's because he and his advisors

works
out that Bush has had the authority to do anything he wants. It's not
constitutional but it seems that's besides the point. The Constitution
only
limits the government if all the branches decide to abide by it. The
republicans have decided they only obey the Constitution when it's
convenient.

Hawke

so you are claiming that the Majority Democrats dont have the balls to
stop him? That they are utter and total pussies?


Idiot. Having a majority doesn't let you override a veto, or a slam-dunk
threatened veto.

What you have is a bunch of dead-ender conservative Republicans from the
flaming red states who will jerk their knees in Bush's direction rather than
think for themselves. That's why you have deadlock on a lot of issues.
