Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Very theoretically the Queen as Head of State has a veto on legislation - and that's really where the President as elected Head of State, inherits it - it got carried over into the US Constitution as the kind of things Heads of State were supposed to be able to do.

However so far as the Queen goes it's not a real power - the last time it was used was in 1708.
