Yes, it's part of the system of checks and balance in the Constitution. Grades are not necesarily an indication of intellegence or competence for a particular job. Bush has a higher than average IQ and more education that than most americans and many people in Congress. It's his ideas, beliefs, policies, morals and personal atributes that I have a problem with and what makes him a pretty incompetent President..
Although Tokosh makes an interesting point, not sure if that's completely true.

Yes a president should be able to veto, our founding fathers instituted these checks and balances to ensure no branch of government could overpower the other. Moreover, as many on here have already stated, if the congress feels especially for the vetoed item, they may overrule the veto with a 2/3rds vote.
As far as President Bush goes, we cannot change the Constitution based on one presidency. Love him or hate him, George Bush is our President and has all the powers that go along with that title...that includes the power of the veto regarless of his academic prowess.

What do you mean by higher education? Bush has a Harvard MBA. Are you saying that Harvard is not a credible school? How do you know he was a C student? Bush has the power of veto because the Constitution gives it to him. If you want to blame someone for the veto then blame Madison and Hamilton they wrote most of the Constitution. Don't worry Congress can override his veto if they get enough votes.

Under the Constitution, the President has the right to veto the acts of Congress but could be overturned by a 2/3 vote of the Congress in separate sessions.

Read the U. S. Constitution. There's a reason for veto ability and a means to over-ride that.

If that's your standard, we're very fortunate President Bush was re-elected in 2004. Otherwise, we would have had a president whose grades at Yale were lower than his.

Wow, your grammar is a bit confusing.
Yes, the executive veto power is an important part of the system of checks and balances within our government.
A person like GW should never have been elected president to begin with.

Yes, and please keep in mind that Bush has a higher level of education certainly than the majority of American citizens, including me, and probably you too.
