164. power

You don't think the pres sets the agenda? If he wants to veto/sign a bill, he's going to use that power to get the congress to make laws he likes.

The president isn't going to "reverse rubber stamp" laws, anyone can do that, even a chimp, ha ha.

Clark's ideas seem very good, but as president, he would also need the people skills to convince the congress to write the laws he wants.
