March 3, 2007 - President Bush issues executive order suspending Congress

MARCH 3, 2007

Today, in an unprecedented and controversial move, President George W Bush issued an executive order suspending Congress. Citing the Democrats' inability to work with him on national security issues, Bush declared a national state of emergency, thereby giving himself almost total control of the US government. "I have tried everything in my power to work with this Congress, but their refusal to work with me on the war on terror gives me no choice," Bush announced. The suspension takes effect immediately, and is indefinite.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could not be reached for comment.

1. I had a dream like this in early January 2006

I dreamed that Bush announced that he was dissolving Congress. It scared the bejebers out of me.

6. Sadly, I don't think it's such a stretch!

certainly we can have him disposed of in some way by then.

8. I don't believe a president has that authority to simply do away with

one of the three branches of government--even Bush.

12. That would sure bring things to a head, wouldn't it?

What a precedent that would create. I have to ask...could he even do that?
