Well, we have been building this imperial Presidency a long time. It has a lot of momentum in its favor. Now let's say the Democrats ever win the White House, are they going to hand any power back to Congress or better yet to the people? Remember that the Repugs felt the same way about Clinton... Johnson... Truman... FDR and always increased Presidential power when they had their guys in place. This is too cheerful, I'm gonna grab a book and hit the sack.
