Clinton vows review of executive power
Guardian ^ | 10/23/07

Posted on 10/23/2007 10:57:50 AM PDT by NativeNewYorker

Hillary Clinton would launch a policy review as president with an eye towards giving up some of the executive powers accumulated by George Bush, she tells Guardian America in an interview today.

The New York senator and frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination also accuses the Bush administration's broad brush approach to terrorism of making it harder to understand "what it is we were up against", and expresses concerns about the attitude of the president's nominee for attorney general to interrogation and "expansive" executive power.

BS! Will never happen, unless it ends up granting MORE powers to the president.

Exactly!!

She probably has her eye on some powers she coverts and will finagle them into this "review"

The woman is evil.

"After a comprehensive review, we have decided to seek UNLIMITED POWER!"

you nailed it. I fear she and her evil cohorts will stage some nuclear event that will allow her to suspend the Constitution. I truly fear for our Republic. Dark days lie ahead is she becomes President.

I think she means a review of the Executive Power over Interns ... cause otherwise she’ll never have too much power vested in her presidency.

It would be better to curb the power of Congress and the Courts.

Pandering. Trying to get people to forget her Stalinist power grabbing attempts over the years, including all those FBI files, etc.

I heard this report on during the 2PM news break (FNR).

How about the right to be entertained by interns in the oval office?

Interesting use of the word "entertained." I missed that part of the constitution where the executive branch was empowered to be "entertained" and lord over his minions during business hours in the oval office then lie about it under oath during a court ordered deposition.

(run-on sentence maybe?)

The tone of this thread is disbelief.

Queen Hillary is clearly signaling her intention cede power to Princess Nancy.

She loves the Euro parlimentary governments and wants the Speaker to exert more influence.

The next Dimm debate would be the perfect opportunity for Mrs. Clinton to confirm the powers she would give up. ;-)

It’s rare than a presidential candidate declares that they intend to undermine the US Constitution.

Excellent observation. If I believed that the president acquired more power than the Constitution calls for I would say:

"As president I would roll back some of the powers the president has unconstitutionally claimed."

The way she phrases it shows a total disregard for the constitution.
