<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 351198, member: 4626&quot;]Thank you.&nbsp; Congradulations, you actually know the difference between the legislative branch and the excecutive branch; I wish more people did.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next time someone is tempted to start another &quot;Bush makes a mistake about something to do with coins&quot; could they please review your civics and learn the difference between the legislative and executive branches, and what powers they have?</p><p><br /></p><p>The legislative branch (Congress) passes laws.&nbsp; The executive (president and cabinet) either signs the bills into law or vetoes them; if he vetoes them the Congress can overide the veto with a 66% or higer vote.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the creation of coins, redesign of coins, discontinuation of coins, etc, has a lot more to do with Congress than the president.&nbsp; Any blame or credit for whatever coins are made should go there.&nbsp; Please remember that.</p><p><br /></p><p>And at the risk of straying into politcal commentary, may I remind you all that Bush is constitutionally prohibited from seeking a 3rd term.&nbsp; If any of you don&#039;t like what he does, you just have to wait until January 20, 2009 and he&#039;ll be gone anyway.&nbsp; Also, the entirety of the House and 1/3 of the Senate is up for re-election this year; don&#039;t like what they do, consider who you give job extensions to when their performance review comes up this November.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
