You can trust me when I say I'm giving your points about treason, etc. serious thought...though the stakes are so high here, I'm apt to trust the CINC on this one and not a couple of comfortable Robed Masters in New York.
Ok, my mistake.

I understand. Please remember he'll only be there for a few more years at best. Then who knows who'll inherit these powers. When I look at the Constitution I see many checks and balances built in because we're not supposed to trust government to control itself. We know from observing human history that eventually unchecked power will be abused, its only a matter of time.
Imagine what Hillary would do to gun owners....
