monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

But you guys are the only ones saying that. You think that because he used the words "absolute power" you have it in your head he means like a dictator. He said the President has absolute power within the Executive branch of the US Govt. The President IS the executive branch. So, yeah. he does have absolute power within the executive branch of the US government.

The President has the power ...

That would be a power under the "unitary executive theory".

How about that, someone taking an oath to something they know nothing about. Duh.

It's right there in the very first line of text:

"The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States"

I know. And that's why I questioned your "absolute power".

The President has absolute power within the executive branch.

Therefor, absolute powers were limited - thus not "absolute" anymore.

Your inability to point out any errors in my posts says otherwise

In other words, his "absolute power" is limited. Okay.

At least the president's executive power is subject to three basic limitations ((there might be more limitations, but I don't have the time to read every paper about it):
* the President may not, without congressional authorisation, use his power to change domestic law or create or alter existing legal obligations,
* his power powers is subject to regulation by Congress,
* in the event of a conflict between the exercise of his power and congressional legislation, the latter prevails.

I went to sleep when you were wrongly trying to redefine what one swears an oath of office TO.

I think these guys pointed out yourtodays errors to which you want to hang on.

If the president issues something that's illegal or fattening, you must always refer back to your oath. If you follow him an you know its illegal, you're an accessory. That includes covers-up of which you ha nothing to do in the original crime but still aid the exec in the cover-up, you're an accessory.

I think Trump will have not too many accessories (except for his idiot press secretaries who have lied for him. Thats why I sorta like this last one. She hasn't really bent the facts when ever Trump says something dumb or borderline.
