"If The President Does It..."
WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.
This is it. Clear, simple, concise. The President of the United States- the man whose job it is to ensure that the Constitution remains intact, whose job it is to see that the system of checks and balances are carried out- has repeatedly violated the balance of power time and time and time again. He is such a coward that he won't even risk a single challenge on his bills, adding little footnotes to bills that give him powers that there's no fucking way Congress will approve.
He can't even be a proper tyrant, can he?
