You seemed to comprehend the poll well enough to accurately conclude that "the President CANNOT repeal or veto an existing law on his own; he can only veto a bill presented to him from Congress". Thus, in order for Mitt Romeny, Newt Gingrinch, Rick Santorum or even Ron Paul to repeal ObamaCare, they must first receive a bill from Congress calling for such a repeal.
Thus, I'd say the poll is precise enough. I thank you for your reply nonetheless.
Nope. Your poll was poorly written.
Poll: Can the President veto or repeal a law?
Yes, he can!
No, only Congress has these enumerated powers
"Yes, he can!" The President can veto a law that has not been enacted...but he cannot repeal a law that has been enacted. It's impossible to select this choice.
"No, only Congress has these enumerated powers." Congress does have the power to repeal a law that has been enacted...with the signature of the President. Congress has no power to veto a law. It's impossible to select this choice.
So, you presented a poll in which neither choice is acceptable. Poorly written, I'd say.
