What Carly is suggesting in just about the limit of what a president can do on his/her own. Anything more would require action by Congress.

And where is the limit of her plan. If a federal judge retires then will she not replace them? If ten percent of her Secret Service detail retires will she not replace them? How about air traffic controllers, border patrol agents, FBI agents, the staff at the CIA and the NSA and other agencies that contribute to the national defense? Will she replace none of them? That is a rational plan?

H.L. Menken once said that for every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. Fiorina takes that to new heights.

Do you not understand our government very well? Did you not know that we have three separate branches of government, and that aside from making the initial appointment, the president has no power over the legislative branch? And do you really believe any president would refuse to fill open judicial vacancies, knowing that if he/she doesn't do so, the next president will - and could be someone of the opposite party?

Or are you just making a ridiculous straw man argument?
