...could abuse an executive order just one more time in order to effect a blanket nullification, and include a clause ordering that no further abuse so egregious should ever be committed using such a vehicle. It would have to be clear on what constitutes an abuse, and it would basically only be a gesture since the precedent has basically been set.
What's funny is I don't trust any of the frontrunning candidates on either side to take office and then stand up to denounce/undo Bush's outrageous expansion of the executive's power. He has opened up the door to a whole new level of power hunger which will probably never close, and anyone who has a prayer at becoming president is simply salivating in anticipation of continuing the misuse of those ill-gained powers.
