CONGRESS HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY; BUSH DOESN’T
By Schuyler ThorpeAuthor and Political Activist
Regardless of what some people think about who has what in our branches of government, our President may be Commander-in-Chief, but Congress still calls the shots on whether they should continue funding this sad debacle of a war.
By attaching language, Congress is living up to the people’s demands that this war end, and end soon: Not by some open-ended conflict with no end in sight.
That’s what the people of the United States of America wants. That’s what Congress is delivering. What Bush wants is more money from his rubberstamping Congress–with absolute no regards to where the money comes from–just so long as he gets what he wants without regard to Congress or the people.
Why do you think Chuck Hagel called for Bush’s impeachment if he doesn’t listen to the wishes of the people he’s supposed to represent or Congress?
This is one of the things that our Founding Fathers implemented in the creation of our country’s Constitution: They saw the inherent problems one person ruling over one country would present, without one or two more branches to keep him in check!
And while the Constitution does keep separate the powers of both the executive branch and Congress separate, it doesn’t give Bush unlimited power to do with what he pleases–while completely ignoring the people and Congress all at the same time.
This is not how our democracy was built upon.
Calling Bush on this critical matter means reigning in an out-of-control President who has so far had a complete disregard for procedure, law, and the Constitution of the United States of America.
Not to mention the 300 million people inhabiting it.
If Bush doesn’t like being called on matters of state, he shouldn’t have run for President, now should he?
