Quote by: chaplainson  So this came up as a problem a little while ago, so here's what I want to know.
Should the President be given the power to veto a part of a bill because it doesn't relate to the topic of the bill. I.E. Farm subsidies in the Iraq funding bill.
The government spends a lot of extra money on earmark projects, but people pass the bill to gain support, but should the President be able to veto an earmark, so that the main topic of a bill passes, without the extra spending. |
No bill should include anything that is not essential to the bill. I don't care how the adding of unrelated stuff is stopped as long as it is stopped. In fact, I am so against adding on unrelated stuff, I would be in favor of shooting the person who does add something unrelated to a bill.
