As President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy proposed a bill that will allow "parliament to set half its agenda and veto presidential appointments, and limit presidents to two 5-year terms." According to BBC, "The overhaul of parliamentary and executive powers passed in the assembly and senate by a single vote, capturing 539 when it needed 538." Sarkozy says that "the camp of movement, change, modernity has won over the camp of immobility, of rigidty, of sectarianism."

This article clearly demonstrates Article 1, Section 7 of the United States Constitution. Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall be likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.

If Laws were vetoed without the voting of the Congress, many of them probably wouldn't exist today. If Congress had the control to pass a Law without the President's consent, then there would probably be ridiculous laws. I think that The Legislative and Executive Branch require each's opinion. Without the other, one branch probably would have distorted the way people feel about the country based on the laws that were enforced. In this Article, the Congress voted on the Reform Bill Proposed by a foreign countr President, which was Nicolas Sarkozy. The Bill luckily had an extra vote, 539 out of the 538 needed, which passed the Bill. Sarkozy was glad that he could negotiate with the United States and he believes that the Bill will change alot of concepts.
