Ummm, it doesn't work that way.

Up until the last two years of Bush's second term the GOP pretty much had complete control of the House and Senate. And even when the Dems had a technical majority, there was just a slim margin...

Regardless of what Congress sends to the President to sign into law, it's the President who signs it. Nancy Pelosi can draft a bill stating all welfare queens get Armani shopping bags, and if Bush signed it, he owns it.
