Under Oba-Hussein it does! He cares nothing about the Constitution and openly by-passes it with his Administration of radical, not always legal nutcases and czars.
Sorry, but I can’t agree with that. The answer to bypassing and disregarding the constitution is not going even further. The military is not the Praetorian Guard, and Obozo is most definitely not Julius Caesar, and that coup did not keep Rome a Republic, either. I’m more in line with LibWhacker. Whatever Obongo does to the constitution can be repaired when he leaves, and that day can be hastened by four years with a loud, extra-constitutional protest from the military.
