George W. Bush has been called an imperial President. Would you, if elected, roll back presidential powers and how would you do it?

  • The Executive branch has often used its powers do what they thought necessary to protect us. Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the civil war before congress could act. President Wilson expanded the Espionage Act of 1917 to punish dissent in WWI. President Roosevelt interned west coast Japanese during WWII. Truman seized the steel mills in the Korean War. In my opinion Bush's detention and surveillance policies are not as far reaching as those of his predecessors

  • That's a state secret.

  • I assume the real answer was "We won't take that question." Tell me if I'm making an unfair assumption. If they did, did they address the issue?
