Plus as what I have heard from Harry Browne concerning this. It is possible
for the president to make presidential orders invloving military, criminals,
how the White House and various agencies are run. He could and would free
(pardon) all non-violent drug offenders. He could and would downsize the
military dramatically (assuming the high ups in the military didn't have him
physically destroyed before he had the chance). further he could throw out
tons of past Presidential orders that presidents for the past 100 years have
allowed to stand. If the two parties are so different then why do these
orders still stand??
