    This is where our great educators got it wrong. We need classes in civics like never before but instead they have eliminated almost all of them. Let us all go back and reinvent the wheel and make Social Studies mandatory learning. So we all know how the country works and perhaps there will be less outrage.

    Hi Rosie:

    No, the final override power rests with Congress.

    Congress always has had more power. That's how the system was designed.
