Thank God for incompetency. Our incompetent Congress -- and I mean the entire bicameral body, regardless of party affiliation -- can't even pass a law and present it to the President according to the simple and clear edicts of the United States Consitution.
Remember that massive Farm Bill that was a complete and total charlie fox of bad farm economics which I blogged about here? Well, it turns out that the bill the President vetoed the other day -- the bill Congress presented to him for signature -- was NOT the same bill that was voted on in session.
That means that Congress has to resubmit the correct bill, and vote on it again, and resubmit it to the president.
Way to go, guys! This is the very reason I do not trust government to solve problems. They cannot even perform their basic duties properly.
