Bush put his faith-based initiatives before Congress. Congress voted them down and the President implemented them through executive order.
The first amendment clearly reads, "CONGRESS shall make no law..." -- The Establishment Clause doesn't mention Presidents making up laws Congress never passed, does it?

Ah, so if Bush side-steps the Constitution, it's all good?
I see!
You always manage to make everything so clear, Church Lady!

It's a misuse of an Executive Order. The President's only supposed to do that in an emergency, like the country being attacked for example.

Is this related to his new faith based medicine plan for veterans so he can pay less taxes?

The church should have no worldly entanglements... otherwise it is just another branch of the government.
Bush doesn't follow the constitution... what else is new?

I don't think that I can tie in the phrase 'could it be satan' into that question. And have it make any sense.
