Executive Orders Can Be Changed Secretly http://www.voltairenet.org/article165982.html#article165982
The United States was founded in rejection of royalist principles. It is a nation of laws, not of men. Yet, its much touted democracy has feet of clay. The U.S. Constitution and system of checks and balances are mere empty shells when the President, as was the case during the Bush Administration, has de facto the autocratic power of changing or ignoring his own laws at will. When Barack Obama took office, he pledged more transparency in regard to executive orders. What the next Censored Project study will have to report on this issue remains to be seen.
