Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.  

Charters of Freedom "A new World is At Hand"   Section 7

I picked this paragraph because in my 40 years living in the United States I have never read or sat to study such information.  Yes, I heard about the terms on the news or skimmed it on the paper: bills, laws, the houses, the senate and of course the President.   But I have never been issued such a document that explained it to me, nor did I have a motivation to learn about it as I now have the hunger for more knowledge of this system. Plus as I was reading it I got a flashback of one of my favorite shows “Sons of Anarchy” and how they operated and came together to vote on a decision or to make a move for the sake of the club, etc. I see this concept with our government.

I enjoy the back and forth between the higher ups and those in the middle and the ones at the bottom. It is supposed to safe guard against absolute power from one leader to the other, or The President just saying “I am making this law and it is finally”, so dictatorship like.
