Also if in your scenario since a bill got 55 votes it should be law no matter what the President wants? The why have a fucking President then? In your scenario the President may have only got 40% of the votes he got more votes than the other 2 guys. Besides as you know the President is elected by the electoral college not the people. And Clinton got WAY over 50% both times

actually yes Gore should have been elected the electoral college is outdated and should be done away with, in my opinion.
as fo the second part, my point is that the checks and balances system is in place to allow for everyone to have a voice and so that one group/person/party cannont run roughshot over the country and do as they please.
