Bills and Vetoes
Is it right that the President can veto a bill? There are usually two sides to this story, some people think its okay and the others don't believe that it is the right thing to do. Why is the President the one who can veto the bill? First thing, what does veto mean? Veto is basically another term for "I forbid." So when the President vetoes a bill he is basically saying he forbids the bill being passed. But on the other hand the Senate and the House can out vote the Presidential veto and then if the President decides to veto it again then the process is started over again. So now we are back to the original question, is it okay that the President has the power to veto a bill? My opinion is that yes, I think he can because he is the main one who makes the important decisions for our country. So if he believes that the bill will do no good or make things worse in our country then he has to abide by his Presidential duties and veto the bill. Others make think differently, they may think that he has no right to veto a bill. It really depends on the subject of the bill and what every ones opinion is about it, for them to make a decision whether or not they think its right that the President should veto it or not. For example if the President wanted to veto a bill that stated "No dogs allowed in public parks", and someone who doesn't like dogs wouldn't mind if the President vetoed the bill or not.
