I think the general public would be stunned if they knew what powers the President of the US has. The president has what's called "Executive Orders" that pretty much gives him unlimited power. If you have any doubt about this, check out Executive Order 9066. Some of the Executive Orders are really out there, such as taking over all transportation in the US and all communication. |
I was under the same impression. They have always just taken people they want. Not sure if it was legal, but it's been done for a while. And there is no telling what goes on that the public never knows about.
