RW>can do is issue an executive order which carries almost
RW>the same weight.  Remember when the importation of
RW>certain ugly firearms were banned?  There wasn't a law
RW>passed doing it.  Bush just signed an executive order.
RW>Theoretically a President can sign an executive order
RW>on anything that is not Constitutionally given to the
RW>Congress (which, when you look at the Constitution,
RW>isn't much.)
NP> Understanding these things called executive orders is my

NP> they carry, and where on earth they get that weight from. 
NP> Sure isn't in the Constitution as near as I can figure.
Good luck!  I haven't found out where the power comes
from nor how they work.
NP> I disagree with you though about the Constitutional powers
NP> given the Congress.  To me, when I read it, Congress is
NP> given more power then the other two branches combined.
The way I read it the Congress' power is spelled out
and narrowly defined.  The prob is people keep finding
things in the Constitution that I can't see.
                      Remember:  Freedom isn't Free!
