WASHINGTON — One Saturday last fall, President Obama interrupted a White House strategy meeting to raise an issue not on the agenda. He declared, aides recalled, that the administration needed to more aggressively use executive power to govern in the face of Congressional …

This is scary!

This executive order reads like many an executive order before it. But this one goes so much farther than any I have read previously. It grants directors of agencies the right to totally control sales of fertilizers (or anything the contains potassium, nitrogen, or phosphorous),  …

At the start of 2012, it is a good time to ask: Will President Obama enjoy a second term in the White House? (Poll)

For me, there has never been any doubt. Even in the midst of his worst unfavourable ratings, I felt the President would be still in the White House for a second term. I knew, by their callous, self serving and immature actions, that the Republicans would keep him there.

In order to get a proposal made into law, a President has to convince Congress to pass it.  What happens when a President can’t convince Congress?  He has to take it to a higher power — the voters.  When a President can’t convince the voters, wh …

Obama faces the possibility of having his agenda stalled with limited room to maneuver -- making for tough sledding in the two years leading up to his 2012 re-election bid. In response, Obama is expected to make more frequent use of executive orders, vetoes, signing statements a …

The right to liberty is one of the foundation rights of a free people. The idea that any US President can bypass Congress and bypass the Courts by issuing an Executive Order setting up a new legal system for indefinite detention of people should rightfull

NYT lauds the Gov. for tackling issues that have "bedeviled lawmakers for centuries". They conveniently skip, however, that announcing you are taking something on and getting anything done are two different things.

Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., has been cast into the outer darkness by those he once regarded as allies in the anti-abortion movement because he dared to take yes for an answer.

The president: "Well, I don't have the authority as I understand it — I can't simply issue an executive order lowering everybody's rates. If I could I would have done that already…" Frightening.

Are (Presidential) Executive Orders Constitutional?

Are (Presidential) Executive Orders Constitutional? Newsviners, I was listening to hate radio and watching inflammatory T.V. last week. Rep. Ron Paul was on both, he mentioned (stated) how executive orders were/are unconstitutional.

As horrifying as the health care legislation is and I personally believe it is worthy of revolt, this Executive Order has the potential to be monstrous. This now says that Interpol is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

In an Executive Order few have heard about, President Obama is trying to eliminate union competition for federal construction projects.
