[Vision2020] [Bulk] Re: Ron Paul Spokane Speech On C-Span

[Donovan Arnold]

Paul and Sunil,
   
  Unless Bush is planning to planning to stay in office, he isn't going to be in a position to keep permanent military bases in Iraq or anywhere else, as he will have no formal powers to do so. 
   
  Won't it be nice for the Bush family to be gone for while?
   
  Best Regards,
   
  Donovan

I don't understand why we aren't treating these "signing statements" for 
what they actually are: evidence of intention to commit a crime. The 
President simply does not have the power to interpret laws to suit 
himself. He should be held criminally liable if he actually follows 
through on what he says he will do in these statements.
