Bush sh!ts on the US Constitution yet AGAIN...

by specifically revising and/or ignoring 110 federal laws passed by congress through 750 signing statements... who needs 3 branches of gov when bush can do it all himself????

quote:


WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.

Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ''whistle-blower" protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research.

Legal scholars say the scope and aggression of Bush's assertions that he can bypass laws represent a concerted effort to expand his power at the expense of Congress, upsetting the balance between the branches of government. The Constitution is clear in assigning to Congress the power to write the laws and to the president a duty ''to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Bush, however, has repeatedly declared that he does not need to ''execute" a law he believes is unconstitutional.

The story you linked is from April 30, 2006. This has been the status quo for his administration. They've been quickly eroding the balance of power set up by our constitution.

BTW, did anyone hear anything about the hearings regarding this topic that were today?

This would be bad, yes, but is it necessarily unconstitutional? There seems to be a lot of power in the US system vested in the executive branch - perhaps its just a flaw in the system that Bush is exploiting for his own means?
