He still has to be doing it with the Congressional leaderships approval (as well as that of the President-Elect) or they could block him.
Unfortunately it would be all too typical of Congress to abrogate their constitutional responsibilities in this manner. |
I agree with subchaser here. This isn't Congress abrogating anything. It is Bush going around them in a blatant example of "executive authority" that his administration has championed.
