Constitutional Connection: Article 1, The Legislative Branch



Explanation:

In this article Congress made history & overrid Bush veto for the first time. It was a water bill that congress passed on to him. Sometimes The President doesn't always get his way & in this case Bush didn't. Congress must have felt really strongly about their decision.

I think that this decision was probably for the better since Bush's decision aren't always the best. This article demostrates Congress' power to overrule a Presidential veto. This is sometimes for the better since there are more members of congress than just the one President.
