Article 1, Section 7, (presentment clause):
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. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.
Veto or sign. Then, it's right back to:
"take care that the laws be faithfully executed".

Joe Lieberman in boxers=scary mental image=my exploding corpus callosum...
...she should plow through?

...want Gingrich to be.
...Baby Bratz Doll when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!
...appoint herself Senatorident of Mericastan, thus trumping the recent election of BO, and ride into DC triumphant on a gilded Moose. Which she will then kill and eat on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
...slim pickens!
...more fart poems this evening?
Exactly.
of the Spotless Mind starring, Paul Broun and Sarah Palin.
...to quit sniffing glue.
Shucks that's kind. I'll put it on my forehead.
See, I'd share, but I'm down to just this little one. Brit Hume and Bay Buchanan stole the rest of it...they seemed upset about something.
My secret hope is that I am dreaming there is even a chance that Lieberman could retain his chairmanship, and that I will wake to find he has been eaten by Dennis Kucinich.
And Pedinska - don't you find it very odd indeed that Joe was driving the get-away car when Brit and Bay stole my glue? He had that look he gets when he's been taking marijuana and is all hopped-up on speedballs. That or he was just pissed that the only one who would loan him a car was Rick Santorum, and it was the '67 Chevy Bel-Air.
Now I'll have to switch to huffing PAM.
CatamiteSavingsBank, N.A. is floating the IPO on GlennGreenwaldCorp so how many shares shall we put you down for?
Mitch Mitchell died.
I'm not sure I think you can really be all that liberal. You seem quite anti-invertebrate...just what did those bi-valve mollusks doto you?
You know, I'm always happy with someone behind me...
Maybe we should form the Catamite Party!
How did you know I have a tatoo of Thumper???
...We're flooding. 4 damned inches of rain today. Piss.
Now I have to go out (in the dark) (in the rain) and dig another fucking trench to draw the water off...
Shit piss fuck. Damn.
And the power's gonna' go out. It always does, 'cause people just Will Not top their trees.
damn...
Totally off topic -
The sun is out and last night's minor yard-flooding is a thing nof the past...Evidently, in Spring, when the threat of massive storms is past and one is no longer thinking of them, and one builds a large raised berm for Exbury Azaleas at the bottomof even an small incline, it is wise to consider drainage options appropriate drainage options for when those rains return...
See...I'm the landscaper in this issue. Oops my bad...all fixed now though.
Ondelette - I love the exburys. I've a got a yellow, an orange and a corally-salmony-pinkish one. They make a nicer focal plant once they lose their leaves. I was thinking of putting in a camperdown elm, too for the winter interest, but then I got to reading how messy they are and decided I'm too lazy for it.
