139. I agree, however this does not mean that he should determine who should be prosecuted.

He should provide oversight to assure that those who are responsible do their job as investigator and prosecutors without prejudice. I see no where in the Constitution that he should be an investigator or a prosecutor. That would fall into the separation of power. If a person is misusing the authority of the DOJ than they should be held accountable and replaced by the president who has that duty and power. The office of the president and his use of power can unfortunately be abused. There were extensive discussion in this regard in the Federal Papers.

Washington, some felt such, Washington was relying to heavily on the honor of those in power not to abuse it. Perhaps, as some of today's constitutional experts believe that more safeguards are required to prevent what we are experiencing. Unfortunately, Washington's unbinding since of honor is not shared by many of today's politicians who would gladly throw their own mother under the bus. I lean toward the need for adequate legislation to protect us from tyrants and unprincipled thugs such as Trump. It would be interesting to see those who support or reject such legislation that could be a blanket condemnation of the attempts of the Republicans to transform the presidency into an authoritarian virtual dictatorship.
