>>Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) introduced legislation of a limited version of the line-item veto. This bill would give the president the power to withdraw earmarks in new bills by sending the bill BACK to Congress minus the line-item vetoed earmark. Congress would then vote on the line-item vetoed bill with a majority vote under fast track rules to make any deadlines the bill had.<<

There is NO line item veto on the books--period. Legislation introduced is NOT a law.

>>Are you trying to tell me, that a REPUBLICAN Congressman or Senator, hands a Democrat president, a bill to insert into the DEMOCRAT budget, and without reading it, or asking what it is, he signs it???<<

Firstly, unlike you, I make no accusation against any specific person because it was done anonymously. Did Obama read it? What do you think? They hand him the bill to sign and he starts reading it word-for-word? How many pages was it? No, of course, he didn't read it. Did he want it in? I don't know.

>>What if the Republican Congressman or Senator, just handed him a document, seeking the President's resignation to sign???...and the President doesn't read it or asks "What's this?"<<

It isn't done that way so your example is pointless--as is the vast majority of what you post.
