I hear tell that peeps from the government and other high places read the 'Burg, so I thought I'd post a link to the Constitution in case anyone from the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel, or the White House general counsel's office, stops by. Come on guys - did you throw your copy out with yesterday's newspaper? Lose it in the seat cushions?
Your attention is particularly directed to this bit:
[The president] shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed....
Let's have a little Con Law pop quiz. When the Constitution says that the Prez shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, that means:
a. The Prez shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
b. The Prez shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, unless he disagrees with them.
c. The Prez shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, unless those laws imperil his re-election.
d. L'État, c'est moi. |
