More About This Website

Since 2001, there has been a nearly unprecedented expansion of executive power in the United States government. Our constitution was crafted deliberately to maintain a system of checks and balances on all three branches of government. This blog serves to make the issue of executive power the main issue in the forthcoming 2008 presidential debates.
