And thats sad.
actually, the executive branch is solely responsible for enforcing the laws made by congress or the interpretation of the courts. congress can pass whatever law it wants, but as long as the president so demands, no enforcement of that law can be done, making it useless. ron paul could (and has said he would) waltz in there as president, wave his hands, and instantly "legalize" drugs and pardon all drug offenders, etc.
