Vindicai.. how indead the president has been doing it by executive orders he has usurped the power of the congress

The John W. Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2006 (PL 109-364), "named for the longtime Armed Services Committee chairman from Virginia," was signed October 17, 2006, by President George W. Bush. The Act "has a provocative provision called 'Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies'," the thrust of which "seems to be about giving the federal government a far stronger hand in coordinating responses to [Hurricane] Katrina-like disasters," Jeff Stein, CQ National Security Editor wrote December 1, 2006.

"But on closer inspection, its language also alters the two-centuries-old Insurrection Act, which Congress passed in 1807 to limit the president’s power to deploy troops within the United States ... 'to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy'," Stein wrote.

  1. you forgot about the Patriot Act.  We as a people have lost so much freedom since this man stole his job back in 2000.  I wonder where we'd be today if the state of Florida did not interfere in the 2000 election?


  2. Nope, not even close.  How can a president change the rights from the Constitution?  That would take the majority of the congress.
