The UK's Guardian conducted an interview with presidential candidate Hillary Clinton about the US president's executive authority. In it, she decried the current administration's overreach of powers and said, if elected, she'd curtail some of the executive's powers.
"I think I'm going to have to review everything they've done, because I've been on the receiving end of that," she said. Ms Clinton stated it was "absolutely" conceivable that, as president, she would give up executive powers in the name of constitutional principle.
"That has to be part of the review I undertake when I get to the White House, and I intend to do that," she said.
It's "conceivable" she'd "give up" executive powers? In the name of "constitutional principle"? That's not very reassuring. And is anyone else uncomfortable with the idea that our rights will be protected at the pleasure of the executive? After all, if the President is breaking the laws and violating the Constitution, he should be impeached. That's Congress' job. And how has Senator Clinton stood on that issue?
