Presidents

While the campaign rages on, I can't help but think: how exactly will Obama or McCain do all of this stuff they're promising right now? According to the Constitution (which I think we're still using), the President does nothing more than suggest legislation. The President does not have the most important word on whether or not any given bill passes. The President has the ability to suggest laws, and to veto laws that aren't overwhelmingly supported in Congress. Neither Obama nor McCain will be able to do all of what they say they're going to do when they get elected, at least not if they want to do it legally. They have more power to make such changes right now, as senators out of the Presidential spotlight, to make any changes to Americas future.

I REPEAT
BEING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DOES NOT MEAN YOUR PLANS INSTANTLY COME TRUE.
