Here is a nice little opinion piece from the New York times.

Just What the Founders Feared: An Imperial President Goes to War - New York Times: "Members of Congress should not be intimidated into thinking that they are overstepping their constitutional bounds. If the founders were looking on now, it is not Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi who would strike them as out of line, but George W. Bush, who would seem less like a president than a king."

I wonder, shouldn't the president be at least required to READ the Constitution at some point. Maybe even take a written test.

    wouldn't that be a great requirement?
