Yes with a caveat: It's not so much that the president has too much power, it's that the previous administration took the Nixon philosophy on presidential powers: "When the president does it that means that it is not illegal." Hopeful Obama should usher in a return to normalcy. Winners win, polcap high now, et al. Side: yes
