NEW YORK (AP) - If elected president in 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton would consider giving up some of the executive powers President Bush and Vice President Cheney have assumed since taking office. In an interview published Tuesday in Guardian America, a Web site run by the London-based Guardian newspaper, Clinton denounced the Bush Administration's push to concentrate more power in the White House as a "power grab" not supported by the Constitution.

Asked if she would consider giving up some of those powers if she were president, Clinton replied, "Oh, absolutely ... I mean, that has to be part of the review that I undertake when I get to the White House, and I intend to do that."

Hillary will be happy to give up some powers, e.g. because as stated in Bay Buchanan's book, "The Extreme Makeover of Hillary Rodham Clinton," Hillary is "well-informed but she has no vision – so she compensates by knowing the facts in detail – she employs an extremely large staff to pull together the final product, policy or idea for the future. This has been a pattern throughout her life. She has employed gurus. Influences that are quite disturbing."

Read up...fascinating account of the Hildabeast...

She can’t wait to get her hands on the Karl Rove Mind Control Beam.

My thoughts exactly. Let’s make sure sure never gets any presidential powers.

[holden]

...ceding all executive powers to President Fred Thompson

...what? Shall we start a pool? After weeks, months, or years? Surely Hitlery will not allow itself to be out-done in the tenacity department by Algore!

The most power hungry bitch on the face of the earth trying to tell people she would give up power. What a crock of crap!!!!!!
Thank God that all the polls show that more than half of the voters in the USA say NEVER to the hilderbeast!!!!!

Not called a congenital liar for nothing.

Isn't there a little piece of paper. I am sure she isn't familiar with it. I believe it is called the Constitution that decides what powers are conferred to which branch?

Considering the Clinton’s excel at using illegal criminal powers in secret and the dark of night... what does she care about what power’s that are legal and above board

[bobwoodard]

Don’t forget she’s a lawyer. All she says was that she ‘intends’ to do ‘it’. My reading of the quote is that she ‘intends’ a review, but says nothing about actually giving up Executive Power.

[Cicero]

Liberals always use words differently from the rest of us.

In this context, and after careful parsing, what she means is that she will give up any effort to defend the US against its enemies, especially if they agree to contribute to her campaign funds and Swiss bank accounts.

It doesn’t mean, however, that this powerdrunk manipulator will give up her power. She will merely use it in different directions, as she and her husband did earlier, spying on her American enemies in what she refers to as the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, rather than bothering about Muslim terrorists or Russian and Chinese Communist spies.

Bush is concerned about defending our country against its enemies. The clintons are only concerned about defending themselves against their personal enemies.

There, fixed it.

[holden]

[Hitlery] has employed gurus

...and consulted the dead, Eleanor Roosevelt, for example. Elie probably didn't ask for a consulting fee, but the Bible suggests that consulting the dead will be driven out before the LORD.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 "There shall not be found among you anyone who [SNIP] calls up the dead.

"For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you."

That would be like Palpatine stepping down and saying "My bad" ...

just ain't gonna happen

[Nervous Tick]

I sure wish she’d give up that power she has over me that makes me want to puke every time I see her or hear her.

[KenHorse]

Among other things, they have pushed for warrantless wiretapping of terrorist suspects and the use of "signing statements" to justify ignoring or defying laws enacted by Congress.

Congress doesn't enact law you lying sack of s***. Laws only happen once the President signs it into Law or Congress overrides the President's veto

Therefore there is no way the President can "ignore or defy laws enacted by Congress"

[syriacus]

She’d do things secretly, and the Times won’t leak her secrets.

In the last eight years I have witnessed a power grab by Senate Democrats, and a Speaker of the House acting as a Secretary of State. I have not witnessed any power grab by the executive branch. As always, The Beast projects and lies in the same sentence.

Notice how Hillarious Hillary talks - using WHEN, not IF as if her winning is a given........

You don't really believe "she" would let a little document like the constitution stop her, do you?
