King Bush

Just What the Founders Feared: An Imperial President Goes to War

I love the last line of the paragraph:

The nation is heading toward a constitutional showdown over the Iraq war. Congress is moving closer to passing a bill to limit or end the war, but President Bush insists Congress doesn’t have the power to do it. “I don’t think Congress ought to be running the war,” he said at a recent press conference. “I think they ought to be funding the troops.” He added magnanimously: “I’m certainly interested in their opinion.”

Tell the Supreme Court and the Congress to get their own military.

That is soooo Jacksonian.

Reminded me of Chappelle's Black Bush - "You should sanction me with your army. Oh, that's right, you don't HAVE an army."
