Constitutional Connection: Artical 1, The Legistlative Branch, Section 7
"Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it"
Explaination of Connection:
The senate is strongly supporting reapling the tax on buissnesses buried deep in the health care law, but President Obama is angleing against it. Senater Mike Johanns said that the new law, which demands that compainies that makepurchases that are worth more then $600, must file a 1099 reporting form to the vendor and the Internal Revenue Service, will cost billions of dollars and is not worth the price for exposing tax cheats. "The White House, I think, is probably going to try to get Democrats to walk the plank again on this provision and vote against it. What that means is they would have to go home and say well, I voted that you will have to do more paperwork instead of creating jobs," he said.
This article is an example of Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S Constitution. Congress is trying to pass a law that the president is not totally for it. Even though President Obama is angleing agaist the bill, senaters are still tries to get this bill passed.
I like the fact that the president does not have the final say for which bills become laws. This article is interesting because being president is suppossed to be the most imporent job in the country, but it doesnt mean that the president has all the power.
