Does this bother anyone else? From the Reuters report:
In addition, Bush would ask Congress to grant him the power to reorganize federal agencies in response to future crises. "The terrorist threat to America takes many forms, has many places to hide, and is often invisible," Bush warned.
Kinda broad, isn't it? Fortunately, I don't think Congress will let him get away with a power grab of this magnitude. Think about it this way: how would you respond if it were Clinton asking for this kind of power? Bush won't be president forever, and while you may or may not trust him with this kind of power, it is a dead certainty that eventually, we will have a president who cannot be trusted with this kind of power. Think Nixon, as another example.
