Powers that Be
Those who have been elected and appointed
are entrusted to abide by the constitution and take the best interest of
their constituents into account when governing.
"If the representatives of the
people betray their constituents, then there is no recourse left but in
the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount
to all forms of government" --Alexander Hamilton
The president is not taking the best
interest of his constituents into account by making the assertion that
he desires to have the powers of a dictator.
"If this were a dictatorship, it
would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator,"
--George W. Bush Washington DC, Dec 18, 2000, during his first trip to
Washington as President-Elect
