"Libertarians have this annoying but dangerous belief that the President can make policy unilaterally. I find this quality to to be suspect...and would never want a Libertarian to be in any office given their predilection alpha male behavior.

Read your Constitution!"


The problem is, we HAVE read our Constitution, and we understand that one of the most horrible weapons at the disposal of the President is the Executive Order, which was not intended to be by the Founding Fathers. So Harry's point was to use the EO to eliminate unconstitutional programs, them sign one more EO, abolishing the EO.
Sometimes it comes under the heading of KISS; Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Your "unilateral policy implementation" theory about Libertarians is explained. NEXT VICTIM!!

EOs have been around since the inception of the nation. No Supreme Court has even touched the issue. That would indicate that Article 2 - presidential powers includes this prerogative.

They are especially helpful in times of war. Doing away them would limit the Commander in Chief's ability to wage war.

Am I correct in assuming the Libertarians are against defending our nation's interests by waging war?
