Our government was intended to have equal powers between three branches of government to provide checks and balances as a means of a defence agianst being captured by an Oligarchy.
One of the most powerfull checks is the power of the veto. By design the president is more or less a fairly weak position. The executive order was never intended to be used to legislate law, instead it was designed to command the troops. However the founders did enable the president with the power to veto any bill that is unconstitutional.
Ron Paul has already stated that he plans to veto every bill that is unconstitutional.
I cant wait, and I hope he gets a big red rubber stamp for it.
