How can we stop Bush from making anymore changes to the US Constitution?

Question

I don't understand how he can make changes to our Constitution while we stand by and watch. Does anyone know the political process we can take to retract what he has already done as quickly as possible? Put things back the way they were? I know he will eventually leave. Seems voting him out didn't work. Is there some emergency step we can take to stop him in his tracks? Stop him from ruining our country? I think we need to add something to the constitution, that no president going forward can ever make changes to the Constitution without the vote of the people specifically for that action. We should be allowed to say no, not politicians saying it for us. To even entertain a change should require very American's approval.

Bush declared he had the unilateral authority to ignore the Geneva Conventions and to indefinitely detain without due process both immigrants and citizens as enemy combatants. Bush has used presidential "signing statements" - statements issued by the President upon signing a bill into law -- to expand his power. Each of his signing statements says that he will interpret the law in question "in a manner consistent with his constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch."

If we allow him to do this, and we honor this law, we are allowing him to be more powerful then our great Constitution. He has supreme power to ignore number 4.

He lost the last election. It's a fact. It was just not allowed to be challenged and his campaign director who happened to be the governor of Florida called off the counting. He most definately did not win the last election.

Answer 1

Impeachment.

Answer 2

Address one change he has made! The constitution can only be changed by vote of the people in the form of an amendment.
No President can, ever has or ever will change the Constitution.
It requires voter, state, congress and Senate approval.
Look it up. I know you don't believe me.

Addendum. You don't give up even when presented with overwhelming evidence. You still do not give any concrete evidence, just ranting about none sense. The Geneva convention was never ratified by the U.S. and it is not part of the constitution. These rights delineated are for the American People. Or are you so far out in the field to think we grant the same rights to out enemies? Why bother asking if you are going to argue every answer except the one you want?

Answer 3

Yet another product of the government education system. Just another reason (among many thousands) that we need to privatize the education system (along with 99% of everything else the government does). She obviously has no clue about current events, how the government works, or what the Constitution says. Ignorance on this level is simply astounding in the "information age".

Bush has not made any changes to the Constutition, he can't. Read a book or at least Google it for God's sake.

Answer 4

You said voting him out didn't work. You know why it didn't work? In 2004, more people liked, and trusted Bust to run our country than Kerry. More people should've voted or put a stronger candidate against him. Face it, just because you don't like what Bush is doing doesn't change that fact that this country votes a president every 4 years, in 2008, you can get someone you like.


You said Bush lost the last election, he won by 24 electorial vote here is a link from CNN. He also won by 3 million votes.

You also said his campaign director was the governor of Florida, Jeb Bush was the governor of Florida and this is a list of his campaign organization.

As you can see, no Jeb Bush, please get your facts right before you ask questions, or atleast don't make stuff up.

Answer 5

Whoa darling, wait a minute. I'm not aware of any changes Mr. Bush has made to the U.S. Constitution. He simply does not have the power to do this. I'm no expert in the field of civics or political science, but I assure you that it is a much more complicated process that requires the participation of both Houses of Congress. It never happens at the arbitrary whim of one individual, not even the President.

Answer 6

No changes have been made. Have you forgot your American Government classes already? Amending the consitution is something that neither the President nor Congress can do on its own. If you wish to disagree with how the President conducts his administration, fine. Just don't go spouting off hysterically and showing your own ignorance. Try again with a better worded question.

Answer 7

Romney and Thompson additionally did no longer positioned on pins. earlier Obama made the startling assertion that he did no longer choose a pin to be patriotic, basically 3 applicants wore one with regularity. a style of substitute into Giuliani, Mr 9/11, who's making the run in keeping along with his being mayor while the Towers fell. this is to his benefit to play a seen card like that. in case you think of the degree of a guy is advised via wearing a flag pin that substitute into made in China, then i'm grateful that there's no style for flags tattooed on ones brow. growing to be up interior the Nineteen Sixties, I remember the fuss made approximately making use of the flag as something different than a flag. Now its rings. positioned on it or get accused of being 'unpatriotic'.

Answer 8

So naive. Who voted him out, the minority of the amercan people? A direct democracy is impractical and impossible as well. In theory the politicians represent the people. The corruption of the american system is nearly impossible to change. Have fun.

Answer 9

Bush has not made 'changes to the US Constitution." That can only be done by amending it by congress with 2/3 of the states ratifying the new Constitution.

That's why Lincoln didn't 'free the slaves"... HE COULDN'T!

Answer 10

I think she's talking about the Patriot Act. It is unconstitutional and does go against the 4th Amendment.

And I have seen all the information regarding the Florida election fix. He didn't win.

Answer 11

He has not changed the constitution. Show evidence of that.
