Why was congress unwilling to give the president the power to veto bills?

Congress was not unwilling to give the President the veto power. Certain members of the Constitutional Convention were. Congress, as we know it today, did not write the Constitution. Some Framers of the Constitution did not favor the veto power, fearing it gave the President too much power of the legislative branch. In fact, many Framers felt the President should simply be an agent of the Congress subject to its direction and control.


Can the president recommend legislation to congress?

The US President can certainly make a draft of a law he would like to see the Congress to pass. A quick example is this: the president wants a bill created to allocate $100,000,000 for a mars exploration project. As this is a "money" bill, he could give the draft to a member of the House of Representatives. He can also make it clear that the bill is a priority. He cannot do anything more then that. He cannot make "legislation". If the bill passes the House & is approved by the Senate, then the President can sign the bill into law.

Why does the President only have the power only to pass or veto a whole bill?

The founding fathers intentionally created obstacles to the governmment, with numerous checks and balances. Legislation is the result of negotiation and compromises between competing interests. The president is then given the opportunity to accept or reject the final bill. The reason the president cannot delete part of the bill is because that would be intruding on the legislative branch's authority. Plus, it would negate the give and take from which the bill emerged. Imagine how few laws could be passed if legislators knew the president unilaterally could delete a provision on which they relied to make it acceptable.


What is the last step in the bill making process in the US government?

The last or final step is for the President to sign...or reject (veto) the bill. If the President doesn't want to do either, he can...during the last 10 days of the congressional session only...put the bill away, effectively leave it alone, or take no action on it, and it becomes null and void after the 10 days. This is known as a pocket veto..and avoids the President the embarrassment of signing or rejecting (vetoing the bill publicly.) Lawmakers in Congress don't like this pro cedure, but it was put in by the framers of the Constitution to give the President leeway when he or she felt cornered and didn't want to make a clear decision on a bill becoming law.

Does the President give his objections upon vetoing a bill?

He does.
