If they want to give up their power, they can do so. >><br /><br />To some degree they can, but to some degree they can't.<br /><br />In my mind, Obama should be able to agree to give up his power, but not President Romney's power. The nondelegation doctrine doesn't even always allow that -- I think the idea is that the Constitution says the President is the chief executive, whether or not he wants to be, and the Congress has the responsibility to make laws, whether it wants it or not.<br /><br />By the way, I'm as much a lawyer as you are.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090531523789747157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-50241479519548197522012-06-24T20:43:57.555-05:002012-06-24T20:43:57.555-05:00haha, wondered, not wandered.haha, wondered, not wandered.KyleNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766641765942339253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-582368152716771238.post-8896098699232741902012-06-24T20:42:51.004-05:002012-06-24T20:42:51.004-05:00Touching upon this subject.

It's accessible for non-lawyers. Here's how they describe it:<br /><br />"Clint Bolick, Director of the Center for Constitutional Litigation at the Goldwater Institute, about his new book Death Grip: Loosening the Law’s Stranglehold over Economic Liberty. Bolick, of course, is no stranger to litigating constitutional claims for economic liberties and property rights, among other achievements. Death Grip argues that the infamous Slaughterhouse Cases of 1873 emptied the privileges or immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of one its primary purposes: the protection of economic liberties against encroachment by state governments. This conversation explores the history and intent behind the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and its privileges or immunities clause, and then looks to current efforts to breathe life back into the protection of economic liberties."Prent Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083445222390232124noreply@blogger.com
