Where is this in the constitution? Do we need a constitutional amendment to require all bills submitted to either house of congress and approved by the other house to submitted for a vote within a reasonable time limit. Seems to me like dirty Harry has more power than the president when it comes to vetoing a bill. Is this what our founders intended?
Nope, he has bastardized the Senate rules so that nothing comes up without 60 votes. The Senate GOP have vowed if they get into power that they will restore the rules. I wrote a piece, the Senate isn't broken, it is those who serve in the Senate. Great post on Harry Reid's veto power, Thanks for posting!
Senators were APPOINTED by state - believe it was governors. none were elected. Now what we have is 2 houses. Both elected so both working for "constituants". ha ha.
