I know that. The bill has to be passed by the house and Senate before the President can sign it. If he veto's it Congress can reverse it with two thirds majority.

That's first grade man please do not patronize me. I was merely suggesing that the President has an agenda, he can put his own support behind a bill (he could've with the Simpson-Bowles idea, he did not and that was a mistake). Of course he can't sign it unless Congress does. But he can make a budget and he can support ideas. Such as cutting the deficit and cutting spending but he has not done this.
