Arianna Huffington has written an excellent essay regarding a questionnaire presented to the presidential candidates discussing the extent of executive privilege. All of the credible candidates have answered the questions. The answers are all very interesting and I believe should be read by every American before voting. It's a short questionnaire, so you should follow the link and read the answers.
While there are no real surprises in the answers, nor in who chose to answer the questionnaire and who did not, there is one question that just begs to be asked. I've yet to hear it posed, so I'm going to do so here.
"As president, if you believe that the current administration has overstepped its authority, and in fact taken actions that are expressly prohibited by the constitution, what punitive steps, if any are you prepared to take against members of the current administration in an effort to restore credibility and moral authority to the United States within the international community?"
If I ever get the chance to ask that question of a presidential candidate, I'm taking it.
