The president doesn't understand the constitution, Blunt said. Congress is responsible for spending.
Isn't the presidential veto a part of the Constitution?
Blunt said today that he agreed with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that congressional spending should be the domain of Congress and that the ban on earmarks would "give the president too much power."
"I think that any real student of the Constitution in this country would come to the conclusion that the Constitution believed that the legislative branch would decide how to spend the money and the president would execute that faithfully and efficiently," Blunt said in a telephone news conference with reporters.
