Did you know that Congress turned down Bush's attempt to do the exact same thing? Including Republicans who surely trusted THEIR guy as much as you trust Obama? But thankfully enough Republicans saw the incredible danger of stripping Congress of its power to put a check on another Branch of Government if it should try to do something that is harmful to this country.
In 2007 Bush tried this and was defeated. Now the Global Corps are trying to get a Democrat to do it.
Democrats on this and other Liberal forums were outraged that Congress should be asked to give up its powers.
Do you like our system of government btw, or do you prefer the one Global Corps have been working on, where neither the people NOR their Representatives have any power over what they do in THIS country?
'Just trust us'! Sorry, as Thomas Jefferson warned, the people should trust no politician 'not even us' meaning the founding fathers.
