Yea...lol...I was about to say the same thing
If Congress attempts to pass a bill, the president has the power to block it...But, Congress, in turn, has the power to override his "veto" with a 2/3 majority.
I actually love this system of government...Our forefathers were pretty smart to set it up this way...prevents Sadam Husseins here in this country...NOw, if only Congress would grow some nads.
