Pass it and if it doesn't get approval then you've tried. You can override a veto or go back to the negotiating table. But the flow of legislation should not be dependent on the whims of the executive.

Exactly, we seem to do it backwards. We get POTUS' ok/veto after Congress passes it. If there's a Bill that a mixed house/senate passes and POTUS Vetos he looks like an ass. If Congress does nothing because POTUS is balking then they look like asses.
