"The legislature's job is to write law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law." --George W. Bush, Austin, Texas, Nov. 22, 2000
At the time everyone thought this was a slip of the tongue. Was it?

I do not doubt that he believes that. His use of signing statements gives evidence to that fact, and he obviously has no real understanding of the checks and balances he disregards.
According to the book "Bush's Brain" George W Bush was taught everything he knows about government by Condaleza Rice when he was selected to run for President with Cheney.

He states that he rules America and all these old Democrats can't understand or know the Constitutions. He better stop throwing stones from the of glass he is living in. Mr George Bush is the one is breaking all the Constitutions, he you mean he really thinks he understands all these that he has broken like Preemptive Strike against a country that had done nothing to us.. Taking our privacy away from us, tapping in to our phones, reading our email's . reading our incoming mail, breaking into our homes whether we are there or not, taking what he wanted out of our private homes. Taking control of us like a Dictator. To many things he has broken to even write them all down. Slip of the tongue , he is no shame, He is a complete habitual liar.

It is really sad when the President doesn't know that the executive branch executes laws not interprets them. Interpretation is for the Supreme Court. He does seem to have a plethora of tongue slips doesn't he?

Führer Bush is never wrong! Führer Bush should be making the laws as well! Führer Bush should be President for life! Führer Bush should.... Sorry I can't keep this up the man is just that dumb that he thinks it really works this way. Look how he just refused the subpoena from Congress.

He indicated again this week when he said "this is my government" that he doesn't understand the Constitution which he pledged to defend.
His head is filled with mashed potatoes.

If it was a slip of the tongue, it was a Freudian slip.

slip of the tongue? I am amazed how little is known by people with so much to say..
and it's the Court's job to review it..
what can't you understand here?
there are 3 seperate branches of gov't..what do you think Congress should..write it..interpret it..and review it too..
no wonder you want to pay them ..more

Nope. He is the "Decider." Or so he thinks. He sure didn't manage to decide how this Amnesty bill was going to go.
