If you're volunteering to go arrest him, I'll be the first to step up and help. Otherwise, who exactly is going to stop him? Who is "WE"? He's been dreaming up some stuff that got people like Richard Nixon forced out of office. I just don't ever see this Congress actually doing anything. They might hold some more hearings though. That would be helpful.

For that matter, who would actually DO anything, even if he decided to suspend the next election cycle and remain in office?

I'm really serious about that question. Exactly who would have the moxie to do anything at all?

I fully admit that this is a terrible opinion of my government, but I don't think I'm alone.

The President has only power granted in the Constitution and those authorized by Congress in a statute. Congress frequently authorizes the executive to act under regulations it may enact to accomplish the legislative purpose, and can only spend funds lawfully appropriated. He can't even fill gas in his big black car unless Congress has ok'd it.

They are reading those statutes now to figure out where they can make regs by fiat, interpretations of existing law, etc. and if Congress has been sloppy in enacting, how it has worded various provisions, they may have some leeway to make life miserable for awhile.

He can't just dream up stuff out of whole cloth, and if we let him, shame on us.
