advice : DOES THE PRESIDENT HAVE "INHERENT POWERS" TO SUSPEND... [+] serious ballot by thesoothsayer ACTIVE Mon Nov 05, 07 - Tue Nov 04, 08 ...The U.S. Constitution in a National emergency or crisis ? Or, do you think this couldn't happen in the United States ? I recall the run-up to the last Presidential election, and the color coded threat alerts which seemed to imply we were on the brink of another 9-11 type of attack, and the constant parade of officials warning and reminding us to be vigilant while we were being patted down at the airports...it seems breaking the law and recruiting large companies/Corporations to do likewise in the cause of protecting the Country has become acceptable in a time of "war"...we are currently watching (at least two) world leaders (one in South America and one in the Middle East) make Constitutional changes, suspend Constitutions to make it legal for them to stay in power...and at least one of them wasn't even elected in the first place...then, there's this President who purportedly said, (about the U.S. Constitution) "It's just a goddamned piece of paper" (Sat, 10 Dec 2005). So, depending on what could or may occur, do you think that scenario could happen in this Country ? (for our own good I'm sure we would be told...) The President has inherent powers to dowhatever to protect the people The President most important mission should be to uphold the Constitution He could suspend parts of it, but not a Presidential election As long as I'm safe, I don't care Yes, it could happen here No, it couldn't happen here Ballot #119167 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
