Summary: BLAMING THE PRESIDENT

In article <362@whuts.UUCP> orb@whuts.UUCP (SEVENER) writes:

But isn't the legislative power, and therefore the fiscal responsibility,
invested in Congress? The president, I believe, has no legislative power,
except to veto bills originated by Congress. If my assumption is true,
then to blame Reagan, Carter, or ANY president for economic conditions 
is misplacing the blame. (If my assumption is false, please refute it.)
