Hillary Clinton would launch a policy review as president with an eye towards giving up some of the executive powers accumulated by George Bush, she tells Guardian America in an interview today.
The New York senator and frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination also accuses the Bush administration's broad brush approach to terrorism of making it harder to understand "what it is we were up against", and expresses concerns about the attitude of the president's nominee for attorney general to interrogation and "expansive" executive power.

BS! Will never happen, unless it ends up granting MORE powers to the president.
ROFL - Hillary give up power???? Be serious, how can anyone believe anything coming out of that witch’s mouth??
Clintoon? Give up power? It’ll never happen.
It’s rare than a presidential candidate declares that they intend to undermine the US Constitution.
"After a comprehensive review, we have decided to seek UNLIMITED POWER!"
What makes her think she has the right to diminish the powers of the executive branch? If she’s complaining that Bush had no right to expand them, surely she also has no right to expand them, reduce them or change them in any way. Surprise, surprise, her logic is faulty.
That's exactly what I thought. Her idea of "reviewing executive powers" (wink wink) would be to determine which additional ones she needs to achieve her world view.
She thinks the president has power now, wait till she gets in office. She will be amazed at how much power she is going to get.
Oh Wait...Nevermind.
Translation: President Hindenburg must be reigned in.
Biggest laugh of the day. You should also
include the name of the author...Michael Tomasky
then go read his bio. An excerpt from Wikipedia:

THINK HE JUST MIGHT HAVE A BIAS IN HIS REPORTING?
Some of us do not have short memories.
You mean like the right of the poresident to order the IRS to launch investigations of private citizens? Or like the right to interfere with senate investigations? Or do you mean like the right to invite communist foreign dignitaries to spend the night at the white house for a nominal donation to the presidential library? Oh, I know...Like the president shouldn’t have the right to have terrorists visit the whitehouse in an attempt to negotiate peace with Israel. Oooh, I got it! The president should not have the right to have sexual relations with interns or subordinates.
Yea. Go Hillary, let’s pull back some of those powers that past presidents have usurped.
ROFLOLOL!!!
And if anyone believes this, I have some ocean front property in Kansas to sell them.
BS! Will never happen, unless it ends up granting MORE powers to the president.
Exactly, she won’t rest until executive power becomes exclusive power. We have our own Evita Peron wantabe.
