Evaluate the Candidates

Evaluate the Candidates

Evaluate the candidates
Listen well to what they say
While remembering when Congress works
The country runs its way

The chief executive is not the one
Making laws to seal our fates
Congress is where that is done
The president administrates

Of course there is the veto
When the Pres does not agree
That the bill that's passing o'er the desk
Is not good for you and me

Returning to the congress
The bill can still be passed
By overriding veto there
Or by reaching states at last

I could keep on keeping on
Continue to hob and nob
But I'll end and say, would not be here today,
If congress had done its job
