All----ALL---Presidents have used executive powers in the way that they need to to further their objectives. Some of these worked out good for the nation, some have been downright tyrannical.
Look at the wording of the charter---if you understand the word charter as I use it---of the CIA when it was reformed by Eisenhower. It ended with the phrase--and this is not exact wording---and any other duties deemed to be needed.
I am aginst joining a world force where your enemies can dictate legislation on a Republic.
