That's really not true. The President doesn't swear under oath to obey Congress; he swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.

Well, the fourth amendment is pretty clear. FISA does not limit the President - it actually broadens his power to obtain warrants - in this case, secretly.

Oh please. FISA may or may not limit his power, but it most certainly doesn't *broaden* his power. FISA only regulates a pre-existing power.
