IS george bush abusing his executive privlages? power?

Answer 1

Nope, the Constitution doesn't give Congress any oversight role vs the White House.

Congress has no authority to demand White House documents.

Answer 2

Yes. Executive privilege is actually a very circumscribed doctrine. It emphatically does not shield against a criminal investigation. And Gonzales, the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, is unquestionably a perjurer. The White House is stonewalling the perjury investigation because it's a given that the trail leads directly to the Oval Office (although if you look closely, you will see the strings that run from the OO to the Cheneybunker).

The abuse of power is just as patent. Bush is much worse than Nixon. Nixon monkeyed with an election and spied on his political opponents. Bush STOLE an election and is spying on everyone. He has also compassed the abduction of US citizens and lawful residents of the US,transported them to foreign nations, and caused them to be tortured. He then signed off on the firing of Antonio Taguba, the heroic general who reported on the abuses in the US concentration camp system.

Then we have the abuse of war powers by repudiating the Geneva Convention. The abrogation of habeas corpus. The arrogation of national resources to enrich himself and his cronies.

These are high crimes and misdemeanors richly deserving of impeachment and confinement for the term of his natural life.

So yes, emphatically yes, the man is a criminal and must be brought to justice.

Answer 3

Absolutely - and Congress has been letting Presidents get away with it for decades. When the Constitution was written, it was never intended that the President be a King with the ability to make up his own rules as he goes along.

Congress AND the Supreme Court are supposed to keep Presidential powers in check, but rubber stamping Congresses have allowed the Presidency to become a mini-monarchy.

Answer 4

Not that I have been able to discern.

I do believe that the Congress has been overstepping, however, especially when it seeks the confidential documents of the White House counsel, and the confidential documents of the political advisors.

Answer 5

The question should be.. "WHEN did Bush start abusing his executive privileges?"

Answer 6

Well, if he's anything like his VP--Bush probably doesn't think himself part of the executive branch.

Answer 7

Another stupid Bush question.

Answer 8

Yes, he most definitely IS. All these idiots who say "no" are blind and dumb.

Answer 9

Is rain wet ?

Yes,Yes

Answer 10

Here we go again. Where have you been? No. No.
