Bush Executive Order: Criminalizing the Antiwar Movement

Petition if anyone is inclinded to sign.  Link to petition is at the bottom.

We the Undersigned view that 'Executive Order' on July 17th
, 2007 titled 'Blocking pf Property of certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization
Efforts in Iraq' is viewed to exceed the Presidential powers allowed in the US
Constitution, and the violates Amendment I of the Bill of Rights.



Article II - Section 2 on Presidential Powers

The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United
States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual
service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the
principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating
to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant
reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases
of impeachment.



He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make
treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall
nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint
ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court,
and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein
otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress
may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think
proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of
departments.



Note: The Above does not provide the power to make 'Executive Orders' Only
Congress is allowed to make laws, which the President may or may not sign



Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the government for a redress of grievances.





We the Undersigned fear the following will ensue due to Executive Orders that
are not by the consent of Congress by a 2/3rds vote:



1- By the President being allowed to make laws, such as Executive Orders with
out the Consent of Congress, destabilizes the very foundation of the
Constitution in terms of the Branches of Government, and their intended
purpose.



2- By The President being allowed to remove Amendment I further destabilizes
the Bill of Rights.



3- In this action of Executive Order(s) , the very foundation of the United States of America
is compromised.



4- Anarchy will occur and the health, Safety and Welfare of the American People
as a nation will be jeopardized.



By our collaborative efforts and the right to petition congress of this
grievances, we demand that our representatives in Congress exercise
Constitutional Confrontation, for our rightful representation as US Citizens,
with the Executive Branch. And that until such actions are resolved by the
Supreme Court, and representation reassured to the people, that all such
Executive Orders are to be suspended.



The Congress should readily also be reminded, that by any Executive Order that
threatens Amendment I, that even a petition to congress would be considered
against such law, and viewed as illegal.



It is up to Congress to regain its Balance Of Power for the purposes of
rightfully representing the people and protecting the Constitution by Law
legislated by Congress.
