Bush Gets First Veto Override

November 12, 2007 | ISSUE 43•45

For the first time in Bush's seven-year presidency, the Senate overrode a veto, for a water resources bill that would preserve wetlands. What do you think?

Well, it's not quite bringing the troops home, but I guess it's at least a fairly pointless expression of the people's will.

Carl Moleman

I wouldn't get too cocky, I bet the president can still find a way to screw up those wetlands.

Cynthia Withers
Optician
While this might classify as a check, I don't think it quite balances anything.
