No more US all volunteer military?

but oilg Bush Would push a draft as he doesn\'t have to worry about getting elected again.

but raven, presidents can be impeached. He\'s not that stupid. And as I said before, congress would never let it pass. The president needs to make a bill for the draft first, and then it goes to either the senate or the house (both?), where it gets reviewed. If it does get past congress, (unlikely since half of them are up for re-election in 2 years), then the judicial branch will have to review it if they want to, I think. Bills take a long time before they take action from our branches.

a bill is drafted -> then it goes to the house for aproval, upon an aproval the senate takes the bill and they aprove it, then after all that if its aproved the president has to aprove it, judicial branch isnt involved.

so there you have it... and yes many years may pass before it reaches the president...

ahh... the wonders of my American Gov\'t class...

heard this joke...

\"i enlisted so i could avoid the draft.\"


i could be totally wrong. but i think that when there\'s a draft you get little choice about the proficency that they stick you with. but when you sign up you get more choice. if you want to get the job you want when you are in the army the best way to get it is to volunteer.

*shrugs*

i could be wrong. are there any armed forces hr types out there that could say yes/no/cancel?

[JellyWerker]

Where did you get your information, no offence, but most of it is wrong.

Mmm although I really dislike the military I always had the urge to join up, and in the future I am still considering.
