NEW YORK (AP) - If elected president in 2008, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton would consider giving up some of the executive powers President Bush and Vice President Cheney have assumed since taking office. In an interview published Tuesday in Guardian America, a Web site run by the London-based Guardian newspaper, Clinton denounced the Bush Administration's push to concentrate more power in the White House as a "power grab" not supported by the Constitution.
Asked if she would consider giving up some of those powers if she were president, Clinton replied, "Oh, absolutely ... I mean, that has to be part of the review that I undertake when I get to the White House, and I intend to do that."

Perhaps she'll give some concessions after pardoning Mumia......

thinking anti-Christ = Hildabeast !!!
Isn't it obvious that even if she's right that President Bush has taken up unconstitutional powers, no moral reflex, urge or compass will cause her to renounce out-of-hand (even as a lawyer, an officer of the court) doing likewise?
She'll consider doing otherwise. Oh, yes, absolutely!
HF
She Who Must Not Be Named will “consider” giving up executive power? Right. And I’ll consider voting for her. I don’t think either even will last more than a nanosecond.
But she would maintain the tradition, just as every President before her, of peeing standing up.
No way will the hildebeast give up anything. To even think in that direction is utter stupidity.
Emphasis mine. She's claiming an "intention" to undertake a "review", not to give up anything. Yale Law School and husband Bill taught her well.
All fine and good, but will she give up the broomstick?
Ya, she’d give up some power alright, directly to the UN.
Exactly. I spotted the ‘it’<->’that’ wording, but that was after I hit post (of course, right?). You’re correct about Bill, after all, he is the one who questioned the meaning of the word ‘is’.
