re: Lets have an open and rhetoric free discussion about Executive Power

I believe Bush made some serious long term errors in ratcheting up the use of EO's and I fear in today's hyper partisan state, the true damage is clouded. Constantly painting people into corners based on single topics , even within parties. People are portrayed in single topic snippets and not on a collective ideal.

All this will continue to lead presidents to work singular topics as congress is thrown into different directions and mostly afraid of being pinned as something different from expected. I hope this can be addressed through the next election, democrat or republican. I hope the winner promises and keeps his/ her word in the matter but our current president unfortunately has proven it's not a topic most consider important or one the media feels needs much attention, even with the promise.
