Unfortunately, because the kenyan has assumed these powers and has not been challenged by the Congress the President now has these powers which means that Romney, if elected, will have them also. Romney may forgo using those powers but he will have them and so will the president who follows him. The presidency of the United States has effectively had the power of fiat conferred upon it by the Congress. Those unconstitutional powers given by Congress to the President must be wrested back from the Presidency by the Congress and even then future governments will be more or less dictatorial depending on the relative strength of the President and his party. The President no longer has Constitutional restraints on his power. If his party controls Congress then he can and will exercise his fiat.
