Statesmen and Mischief Makers

Historically When Sweeping Policy Changes Or Legislation Of Indelible Consequence Are Signed Into Law Presidents Receive The Credit. There Is A Good Reason For That. Without The Chief Executive Putting His Pen To Paper These Advancements Would Have Nary A Chance Of Becoming Reality. In Most Cases Though A President'S Signature Is Simply The Culmination Of A Long Fight To Make An Idea Or Actual Proposal A Reality. In Fact Quite Often It Is Members Of Congress Who Nurture Proposals From Inception To The President'S Desk. Like A Train Leaving Its First Station The Legislative Process Often Starts With A Handful Of People On Board Until Slowly A Few More Passengers Hop On At Each Stop And Before Long There Is A Full Car With People Standing In The Aisles. Often Times A Bill Becoming A Law Is No Different.
