Why George doesn't need to use his veto power

i'm terribly, terribly tired of repeating myself but, when my country is in trouble this serious, i have no choice but to suck it up and keep on keepin' on...

It is not uncommon for a President to refrain from executing a law which he believes, and states, is unconstitutional. Other Presidents have invoked that doctrine, although Bush has done so far more aggressively and frequently. But what is uncommon - what is entirely unprecedented - is that the administration's theories of its own power arrogate unto itself not just the right to refrain from enforcing such laws, but to act in violation of those laws, to engage in the very conduct which those laws criminalize, and they do so secretly and deceitfully, after signing the law and pretending that they are engaged in the democratic process. That is why the President has never bothered to veto a law -- why bother to veto laws when you have the power to violate them at will?

it's extremely hard for me to wrap my mind around just how bad things have gotten... i hope and pray every single day that my fellow citizens will rouse themselves from their slumber, see what's happened to our country in the hands of these criminals, and demand that they, all of them, resign... they are betraying everything good and decent about the united states and they must be stopped...
