[Sandy]

Trump can at present vetoe both senate and congress as well as make other drastic measures like the new travel bans from a lot of European countries..

It's all about checks and balances, Sandy.

Yes, the president can veto, but congress can override it with enough votes.

I'm glad he doesn't have to go through congress to take quick action to protect our people and our borders. It could take months to get everyone on the same page, if you even can. Not very efficient when there is a looming threat.

I agree it's good he can act promptly if something like the coronavirus comes along, he does seem to have been a little.. slow calling a national emergency IMO.. IF say senate and congress were combined into one group, what would stop say Pelosi from being an overseer of sorts and have the power to make sure there was checks and balances in the system? I realise Pelosi is only the Speaker, but if things were combined, couldn't things go through someone like her, or someone neutral before it goes to the current president for signing off?
