__PUNCT__ the presid had no choic becaus otherwis he leav the troop without the materi thei would need to stai aliv and to function __PUNCT__

if the presid had the line __PUNCT__ item_veto __PUNCT__ the presid could cut those out __PUNCT__

the presid could take the iraq spend_bill __PUNCT__ for exampl __PUNCT__ cut out anyth that irrelev to iraq __PUNCT__ veto that __PUNCT__ sign the rest of the bill __PUNCT__ he have the monei for the troop __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ he exercis disciplin over the out __PUNCT__ of __PUNCT__ control_spend __PUNCT__

the presid doesn't have that power under our constitut __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ the onli wai you go to chang that is a constitut_amend __PUNCT__ in order to give the presid the power that i believ about __NUM__ or __NUM__ governor have __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ sai __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ presid __PUNCT__ pleas cut my agenc by __NUM__ or __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__

i don't need that much __PUNCT__

so congress doesn't do it __PUNCT__

congress think about how mani more project can we do to get ourselv reelect __PUNCT__

we demonstr that __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ so if you go to exercis disciplin __PUNCT__ if the presid doesn't do it __PUNCT__ it doesn't happen __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ the process of disciplin ha to start with the presid __PUNCT__ and the presid need to enforc it __PUNCT__ and i will __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ we will __PUNCT__ us a concept that i borrow from ronald_reagan __PUNCT__

he us it __PUNCT__ and i would us it with the feder_govern __PUNCT__ and that is to ask everi agenc to make cut of __NUM__ to __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ annual __PUNCT__

put the burden on them to show us what need to be cut __PUNCT__

in new york_citi we save over __NUM___billion billion_dollar over __NUM___year __PUNCT__
