It means that Euro police have the authority to investigate and arrest American citizens. On American soil.

Watch for them to arrest Bush for war crimes.

You didn’t really think that Obama was in Copenhagen just for a climate pact, did you?

Don’t know about Pres. Bush, but Cheney & Rumsfeld are real possibilities.

"It means that Euro police have the authority to investigate and arrest American citizens. On American soil."

A President cannot confer such authority by an Executive order. In fact, when the military criminal investigative authorities were created back in the 80s, there had to be legislation passed before even Federal agents had the authority to effect arrest.

Some EO have the full force of law, others do not - those are just administrative orders issued to the executive branch. For a EO to have full force of law, the Congress must pass legislation that allows a President to exercise such authority.

While I'm interested to read the rest of this order, I'm much more inclined to believe it either expands or limits US oversight into the international organizations themselves, while they operate on or are domiciled on US soil. But, arrest on American soil - even of non-Americans by foreign authorities, isn't something that this President or any President can approve.

I’m beginning to be concerned whether or not America can withstand such an assault from the left.

And .. with the news that a former member of Mossad (who warned about the London bombings) now believes there is a major plot upon America (5-8 locations at once); that info does not make me feel any safer.

I very strongly believe this admin is ready and prepared (at the first sign of any attack) to declare martial law and stop all elections. Zero wants to be king for life.
