"It wasn't that one president in particular. Remember, Johnson had used the same powers Nixon had. If you'll look at what they did, it didn't apply just to Richard Nixon. They saw, rightly, that the problem was too much power vested in the president, and took some away. The only problem is, they didn't go far enough."

And yet, power was taken away from future Presidents...
