Re: Executive Power Grab (none / 0)

How exactly is Congress supposed to confront it?  By passing another law that the President can then veto or sign with another statement saying he'll ignore it?

This statement is useless from any point of view except political -- it asserts the Executive's primacy over the other two branches -- an atextual, unAmerican doctrine.

Also, last time I checked, the Executive doesn't interpret the law.  The Judicial Branch interprets the law.  Bush doesn't get to decide which laws cover him and which don't.
