Under every Congress there are stories of the President being forced to fund programs that he doesn't support. In some aspects I think this can be a good thing, within reason of course. I also support the concept of a line-item veto, which I think can do a lot to reduce the use of riders. *shrugs* I'm also possibly in a minority in thinking that we should transition to a parliamentary republic. (Actually I would even support a constitution monarchy on the slightly older British model.)
