ABC News reported today that president Obama vows to veto a balanced budget amendment, if passed by Congress.
Brilliant! The President has NO Constitutional role in the Amendment process. If Congress passes an amendment (2/3’s vote of both houses required) it goes to the State Legislatures for ratification by 3/4th's of the States, not to the President for a signature or a veto...and more bad news for Obama, only 38 States must ratify, not 43.
