He may have "no POWER", but he's got influence, especially over people like YOU. Influence is its own kind of power.
And ya know, President Obama can't pass any laws or sentence anyone either, so what's your problem with HIM?

Are you dumb?
A legislative Bill becomes Law when the President SIGNS IT INTO LAW. No other one person can PASS A LAW. If the POTUS does not pass a Bill into Law, a large number of legislators can collectively pass a Bill into Law. A President also has the Power of Pardon or Commutation.
Are YOU dumb?
The President can propose legislation, and he can sign a bill into law, BUT ONLY AFTER THAT BILL HAS PASSED BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE. On his own, the President doesn't have any power to introduce legislation or vote on it - thus, he on his own can't pass a law. He can SIGN it into law once Congress has voted a bill into law, or he can veto it, or he can use what's called the "pocket veto" (look it up). A veto can be overridden by Congress, but a pocket veto cannot.
The President has the power of pardon or commutation. So what? If you'll go back a re-read what I wrote, you'll see that I said the President doesn't have the power to SENTENCE anyone. Of course he has the power to pardon them or commute their sentence. You'd have to be a real dummy to not know the difference!
Oh, wait - you didn't know the difference, did you?

Quote:So Rappy, speaking of Civics 101... Several threads ago, when you were insisting that Dodd and Frank were responsible for the downfall of western civilization, you promised to explain how an out-of-power Congressman can affect the movement of legislation. Seeing as they don't control the chairmanships of any committee nor does the minority party in Congress ever have a majority in committee. Since we're plumbing the depths of your... er... knowledge on the topic, this might be a good time to explain the inexplicable.

We should have strapped him into a glider, filled it nose heavy w/ explosives, and dropped his Allah lovin' ass into a large, empty field. After which, release wild boars into the area so they could make good use of his remains. Now THAT's justice.- rappy
Yeah, that's what Sheikh Issa said. Seems you both have a lot in common.- signy
