Presidential Status
homefires I guess you haven't noticed Bush seems to have his own interpretation for the office of the president. The one where he can do whatever, where ever, to whoever. I don't see him backing down and saying the Constitution says I can't so I won't
Yes homefrire the Constitution does separate the powers. But during election years we all like to know how the candidate envisions his powers and what things they may or may not veto. The president does get to ask for Congress to pass legislation and also tells them he does not support other types of legislation. If they are powerless why does it matter what stance they have of the 2nd amendment, the definition of marriage, income tax, the war in Iraq, or another campaign topics?
