Impeach Him. Impeach Him Now.

If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.
— President Bush, December 18, 2000
A president can dream—and this president can also sign an executive order that gives him "much greater control" over rules and policies regarding public health, safety, the environment, civil rights, and privacy.

In an executive order published last week in the Federal Register, Mr. Bush said that each agency must have a regulatory policy office run by a political appointee, to supervise the development of rules and documents providing guidance to regulated industries. The White House will thus have a gatekeeper in each agency to analyze the costs and the benefits of new rules and to make sure the agencies carry out the president’s priorities.

In other words, Don Bush is sending a capo to run every federal agency.

This strengthens the hand of the White House in shaping rules that have, in the past, often been generated by civil servants and scientific experts. It suggests that the administration still has ways to exert its power after the takeover of Congress by the Democrats.

…Besides placing political appointees in charge of rule making, Mr. Bush said agencies must give the White House an opportunity to review "any significant guidance documents" before they are issued.

…Peter L. Strauss, a professor at Columbia Law School, said the executive order "achieves a major increase in White House control over domestic government."

"Having lost control of Congress," Mr. Strauss said, "the president is doing what he can to increase his control of the executive branch."

Because, having lost control of Congress, it's more important than ever to have the powers of a dictator.

Impeach him. Impeach him now.
