Why can't Bush just issue executive orders for the patriot act and tell the dems you lose.


I am so sick of the dems lead by reid harming this country.

Their whole goal is to leak all our classified intel to the press then we are weakened so much we get attacked and they can blame it on Bush.


We are at war domestically.

Executive orders can be challenged by the Senate..
You should know this..

It only takes a few senators to challenge an executive order and it does not take effect..
Executive orders only work by the (implied) consent of the Senate..

Has it come to this here? In just five years? I've cut the administration a lot of slack over the need to do terror investigations, but there is a line somewhere that has to be respected and we here seem to be slowly sliding across that line.
