I never stated that he "ruled".

he acts on behalf of the people, if the people don't want something he shouldn't act on it

And they do every 4 years...don't worry, you have another chance in 2.

... the president does not have the right to do anything... he didn't just say I want Rummy and he'll be there, it had to be approved by the Senate... and since the Senate is corrupted with the same people they gave him the job. If the people do not want him in that position he should not be there, that is what America is, or it suppose to be... It's sad that Bush's propaganda has worked so well that people believe he has 'power'... HE SHOULD HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF 'POWER'...

"OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE" ...any of that ring a bell... WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE AND TAKE OUR CONTRY BACK...
The President does not have the right to do anything??? Did this change?

United States Constitution Article 2

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
