[kpete]

WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION

How About a Promise to Roll Back the "Unitary Executive" Powers?

The Bush administration has expanded its' powers greatly under the "Unitary Executive" theory.
As President, what specific steps would you take, how would you take them, and when would you take them, in order to roll back these unnecessary and unprecedented powers
that the Executive Branch now claims to have?

1. It won't be what they say, but what they do. No body give up power willingly. Not

unless there is something in return that would prompt them to.

2. Might be more helpful in the here & now for them to comment on fact one of them will have that power

:evilgrin:

That should get the masses off the couch and onto the horn with their GOP reps to do some presidential wing clipping NOW. ;)

3. I Actually Wouldn't Want Any Of Them Promising Such Things.

Though hopefully when elected they would, I'd rather they didn't say so publicly. Right now, one of the only things possibly keeping some republicans from supporting some of the unitary executive ideals outright 100% each time, is probably the thought that one day a Dem might use that very same power. Their fear of such a circumstance undoubtedly holds some of them back from going even further with some of it. Not sure I want them to lose that fear.
