Good direction Andrew, just a bit closer attention to the details of the office will aid in the understanding of a written constitution organizatized as a Federal Republic of 50 soverign states. Being that you are an active and responsible member of the forum and one of our good neighbors in that proud and good land to our North that has more in common with us than any other country in the world, it is fitting that some information about the strange office that our Chief Executive must fill is in order. So I send this to you in the spirit of one good neighbor to another, different country but similar households. Needless to say that if any of my fellow members on the forum need to correct me, I will of course accept any feed back as I am sure I would deserve. <br /> The President of the U.S. while being the Head of State has less less in common with a monarch and more with a CEO/Chairman of the Board of a very large enterprise. Mr. Bush (the current holder of that office) must work with the legislative and remain obedient to the Rule of Law as expressed under the Judicial Supremacy clauses of what the late Chief Justice John Marshall called that most excellent document of the U.S. Constitution as written and intrepited by the courts and finally as intrepreted by the U.S. Suprem Court that has final authroity of what the constitution says and what it says not. This past election that you witnessed has less to do with who will sit as president over the next four years but more to do with the direction of the high court. As you have read in my contributions to the forum over the past few days is that there will be the need for three perhaps four new justices to be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate to sit for LIFE. What you are observing in a presidential election is only the surface of what is really going on. This is where the mandate to influence what would be called the checks and balances of our system of GOVERNANCE that is granted to elected officials in the legislative and executive by registerd voters (citizens) that influences the direction of the Judicial, a fact taken for granted by the general public of the U.S. ,but admired by many and feared by despots. Have a great day - Roy
