Note a maj Linda Leong chief air writer backs Congress i a recent writer made Many Good Points particularly about Congress abuses of Power and infringement on presidential constitutional authority. However the. Same comments also disturbed  founding fathers set up the Constitution to prevent and frustrate one governmental branches attempts to aggrandize its Power in Light of the fathers expectations Congress was justified in opposing the presidents Myes. It was the framers intention that the president not use the armed forces for whimsical reasons or personal Benefit so they divided the Power of War making Between the Congress which votes for War and the president who As commander in chief executes the decision of Congress. In matters of the Constitution i prefer to err in favor of conservatism each time our leaders ignore the Constitution it can become that much easier to justify doing so the next time. This document is precious and it underpins a fragile system. Only by our constant Vig dance can we prevent attempts by one Branch to usurp the Powers of other. A sgt.

It is not expensive and can be found All year round either fresh or  say a Good word about this wonderful vegetable that has gotten such a bum rap.
