Take your other issue to an immigration thread.

I keep mentioning it because it's an example of GWB overriding the people's will (and the immigration laws) because he apparently "knows" better. Sometimes, even a President needs to accept the will of the people. In a democratic republic, at least.

The will of the people was to elect George Bush to be Commander in Chief, Chief Executive officer. In a democratic republic representatives are elected to execute the duties of their respective offices. Sometimes the people need to accept that their will has been done. On election day. That's a democratic republic.
