[Read the article: Weekly Standard: Bush has "near dictatorial power"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let's review what he REALLY said:
True enough, but they sought an energetic executive with near dictatorial power in pursuing foreign policy and war. So no, the Constitution does not put Congress on an equal footing with the executive in matters of national security.
This means that not only this president has the Constitutional mandate to be commander in chief and to affect foreign policy, but EVERY PRESIDENT does.
But you're not fearmongering, are you? No.
