How about: "I believe in our Constitution. This means that I will honor my oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I will honor the Constitution's intent by charging the Legislature with proposing laws, instead of avoiding the constitutional process by using executive orders. As the Constitution orders the President to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," I will hold the Department of Justice responsible for enforcing the law, not changing it. I will be a president who honors the Constitution, the liberty it gives us, and the spirit of independence that fostered this great nation of ours."
That's what I want to hear in the debate from Mr. Romney.
“I will honor the Constitution’s intent by charging the Legislature with proposing laws, instead of avoiding the constitutional process by using executive orders.”
That’s a noble statement, and I agree with it on principle, but...
If Romney says something like this, and gets elected, how is he going to issue the NEW executive orders necessary to repeal the ones Obama put into place?
And keep a straight face while doing it, anyway....?
