Those words certainly can be interpretted and used in various ways, so in that sense they are vague. So even though I'm not that fond of President Bush, I can see why he would want it to be clarified a bit better. And there is nothing wrong or illegal about requesting something like that. Just because the rules haven't been changed in over 50 years doesn't necessarily mean that they should never be.
