Presidential Powers

Look at the emphasis we are putting on electing one person as a President.  You would think that we were electing our next dictator.  Here are the both of them telling us how they are going to raise or lower taxes.  The president doesn’t have that power, only the House can submit Bills for raising revenue.
The only voice our Constitution has is you.  The game government plays is get power.  The only document we have to prevent them from taking complete control of our lives is our Constitution.  It created the branches of government we have in D.C.  Without it, that government doesn’t exist.  Government knows full well that it cannot throw the baby out with the bath water.  It is time for us all to elevate this document back into its place of importance.  It is the Genesis of the Union in which we live, and we have let it be relegated to the trash heap of history by the very people it was written to give us control “OVER.”
Here are all the powers we gave a President.

"Section 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.

Section 3
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the
Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge
necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene

 both
Houses,
 or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with
Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he
shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he
shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all
the Officers of the United States.

Section 4
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States,
shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason,
Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. "

You see here where the President is Commander and chief of the armed forces.  That is to ensure civilian control over the military.  It is not within the power given to the President to be able to mobilize these forces.  That power is reserved to the Congress.
Article In section 8:  Congress shall have the power;

"To
 declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning
Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be
for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union,
suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for
governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United
States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers,
and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline
prescribed by Congress;"

    Did Congress vote to send the Militia or anyone else to Waco?  You see,
 Congress sees someone

 HERE violating the laws of the Union.  It calls forth
the Militia.  Then the President becomes the commander and chief of that Militia. 

  Congress is suppose to call the militia to execute the laws of the union, not have a President issue
Executive orders to armed thugs like the BATF and IRS an be able to aim his agencies at the heart of our
Citizens.  It is the duty of the MILITIA to execute the laws of the Union!
    It didn't take the tyrants long to turn us into a dictatorship.

    The President was given the red phone to be able to authorize the military to respond to a missile attack
timely.  The President has zero authority to take our ground forces to war, only Congress can do that.

See the "Dick Act of 1903."  for a heads up about the Militia.
