No new power should be vested in ANY of the branches, but especially not in the executive. Cliches become cliches because the are pretty much true, and the one that comes to mind here is power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Limiting government, not expanding its authority over us, was the intent of the Constitution, and the left has done a magnificent job of undermining it, with the help, btw, of short sighted Republicans. Truly time to make them understand what its like to try to herd cats.
