He&#8217;s vetoing it for 2 reasons. One, he thinks Democrats are trying to gain successes to earn &#8220;political points&#8221; in Washington. Two, it&#8217;s not the bill he wanted to see, he says &#8220;I&#8217;m vetoing it and send it back in this form with these rules or I won&#8217;t sign it.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>This is not the point of the veto. If Bush wants to make laws, go into congress. It&#8217;s congress&#8217;s job to make laws and vote on them and pass them, the veto is for the president to exercise some huge control as a check on congress when they&#8217;ve been completely backwards. Remember that, it&#8217;s a check and balance, not a twist of an arm behind a back to force congress to act in a certain way.<br \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2007\/POLITICS\/09\/20\/bush.newser\/index.html\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2007\/POLITICS\/09\/20\/bush.newser\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2007\/POLITICS\/09\/20\/bush.newser\/index.html<\/a><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bush is vetoing a bill which is expanding children&#8217;s health care.
