Yesterday, President Bush asserted “that he had the executive power to bypass several parts of two bills: a military authorization act and a measure giving inspectors general greater independence from White House control,” the New York Times’ Charlie Savage reports:
In the authorization bill, Mr. Bush challenged four sections. One forbid the money from being used “to exercise United States control of the oil resources of Iraq”; another required negotiations for an agreement by which Iraq would share some of the costs of the American military operations there. […]
In the other bill, he raised concerns about two sections that strengthen legal protections against political interference with the internal watchdog officials at each executive agency. One section gives the inspectors general a right to counsels who report directly to them. But Mr. Bush wrote in his signing statement that such lawyers would be bound to follow the legal interpretations of the politically appointed counsels at each agency.

I say, Impeach the bastard!
Oh, yeah he'll just pardon himself...
Another October Surprise? King George indeed!
How many more days left till he leaves?
A wise would but there's still the United Nation charge of War Crimes and Crimes Aganist Humanity. Nancy Pelosi got her pay off from the White House the day she took the Speaker of the House job. In her words " the Impeachment is off the table". Yes enought evident to prove the case beyond a reasonable dought but Pelosi took the 40 pieces of silver from the Satan Administration.
