ML> Article II, section 1 of the Constitution gives the president 
 ML> executive powers. I believe authority to issue orders comes from 
 ML> there; he must have the authority to carry out his executive 
 ML> responsibilities. 
 
 DA> True, but the orders he issues must be consistant with the 
 DA> Constitutional powers he has been granted. He can't simply issue an 
 DA> order to give himself more power and stay within the bounds of the 
 DA> Constitution. 
 
   I agree that whatever orders he issues must be legal.
