Actually, I think you mean the president can't make bills. Half the president's job is to make laws by approving bills that have been preprocessed by congress. Regardless, the president has extreme political influence and by lobbying for a bill personally the bill is much more likely to go through. Furthermore, the president has the power of signing an executive order which does not need to be approved by congress and goes into law regardless. So, you're pretty much wrong on all counts.

Safety regulations are redundant and a responsible company that cares about profit knows that employee retention is important?

And child labor laws are the opposite of good. Whenever reporters shut down a "sweatshop" in the US, most of those kids just get another under the table job. And speak of the devil, Wendy's doesn't hire any minors because it is a pain in the ass, which is an example of how these laws prevent children from being employed.

the thing is there are not many responsible company, most if not all of the big corporations seek only maximum profit and they would gladly supply workers with unsafe conditions if it means they can make an extra buck.

Well, if its like the Hostess thing they would just have to pay 20 cents to cover the health care. What you stupid Americigarettes don't understand, is that most other 1st world countries (No, not states America) already have healthcare. In those countries taxes are much higher but we get education and medical stuff for free.

but you fail to realize we Americans have a blooded hatred towards taxes.
We started a revolutionary war over them, among other things.
We are seriously born hating taxes and are taught to hate taxes, the last thing the general american population wants is higher taxes. Also, many Americans in earlier generations were taught to have a fend for yourself attitude. They're stance is "why should I have to pay for some other guy, when I worked hard to earn what I have."

Its a part of our culture.

Sony is japanese
Sega is japanese
Nintendo is japanese

I don't think that bombing Hiroshima made people so forgeted up in the head they started making "ping pong press button and screen says doop" machines.

And if you start stuff like "Atari is American", just remember what their latest sensation E.T. did?

Too bad Spacewar and Al Gore were both good-old fashioned AMERICAN innovations. Eat stuff you filthy jealous foreigner!
Besides, if it hadn't been for Atari Nintendo would still be making playing cards.

Yay someone who paid attention in school. Obama can propse laws, if there is something that needs needs to bypass congress then he creates an executive order.

He has influence, but he doesn't make laws. He can sign bills into laws, effectively /approving/ them, saying he will carry out those laws, but the President is in the executive wing of the government.

It's actually quite nice. Socialized medicine has always been a good idea to me.

So, let me get this right. He doesn't make laws. He makes laws by signing bills. Makes sense.

[Kalphiter]

Anyone can write a bill, but a member of congress must introduce it. The same goes for the president; he needs a member to present his proposal. If the bill passes both chambers, the bill must be passed to the president. The president can sign it into law, or use his veto powers. A 2/3 majority is needed in each house to bypass a veto.

[!Trinick]

Precisely. With that I reiterate: the president does make laws, he does not however introduce bills.
