Did I miss something in my government class? The president may make up or change whatever laws they want? I remember a little something about three branches of government, separation of powers, and states rights.

Read about the controlled substance act, passed in 1970 and signed by Nixon. It gives the FDA and DEA (executive agencies) the power to assign drugs to different 'schedules' which then carry different regulations and penalties. The executive could make beer a schedule I drug if they wanted.

“Separation of Powers hasn’t been an issue since January 20, 2009”

No one sent me the memo! So we are voting for king? Didn’t we fight a little action over this issue? Isn’t that how the whole dang thing got started?

The lack of availability of marijuana is one of the biggest problems United States faces at this time. /s

And I would say the controlled substance act, where an agency can make law, just like the clean water and the EPA and numerous other regulatory agencies, are wrong. It is an end run around the constitution. It makes government way too powerful and unpredictable.

Separation of Powers hasn’t been an issue since January 20, 2009. The President can do anything he wants, write any ‘Law’ he wants and proceed to have his goons enforce it, etc......it’s a Brave New World, when the Obamanistas have control.

One thing I am certain of: if Trump wins, Congress will rediscover their role as a check and balance on executive power, regardless of which party has control. Suddenly these Obama enablers will become rock-ribbed obstructionists aligned to stop Trump. I am certain of it, he will have to fight both parties to get anything done.

But you know what? It's good for the republic to restore seperation of powers instead of a lapdog legislature for Clinton (as it was for Obama) so for me, it's one more reason to vote Trump.

“Hillary Clinton Campaign Says She Would Reschedule Marijuana (getting overconfident now!?)”

She’s appealing to the dope-smoker vote in states like Colorado, and also hoping to push Trump into some anti-dope corner. No doubt, the enemedia will ask a question about dope in the debates, because, you know, it’s such a vital issue for the salvation of our nation.

now we know why the feds surprisingly kept the schedule the way it was... to give Hillary a campaign issue she could latch on to.

We used to wait until 5:00 in the afternoon, but if I'm elected President, you can spark one up anytime you like. You'll need it.
