The President is the chief of the executive branch. It is within the scope of his office to order the Justice Department to investigate.

Can you imagine Bobby Kennedy refusing JFK's instructions? Or Janet Reno failing to obey an order from bill clinton? As it happens, the AG is a crony of Bush's, so I don't imagine he would resign if Bush instructed him to go after the Times. But resignation would be the only way he could avoid doing what the president instructed him to do, in a matter concerning national security and the welfare of our country.

Okay. Thanks for clearing that up. (I guess that you can see that I am not up on the Constitution..)
