Bush Gets First Veto Override
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?
Carl Moleman,
Systems Analyst
"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."
Cynthia Withers,
Optician
"I wouldn't get too cocky, I bet the president can still find a way to screw up those wetlands."
Frank Mahoney,
Window Installer
"While this might classify as a check, I don't think it quite balances anything."
