For someone trying to instate martial-law or force the country into accepting a third term, he sure has a funny way of going about it. Look at the last line of the executive order.
Furthermore, Congress may modify, rescind, or render dormant such delegated emergency authority.

It's up to congress to stop them.
Why would congress stop them?There is no two party system it has become one party run by the corporations.They keep the illusion of two so the sheep believe things are getting better.When it counts where are the two partys? Bush commits the crime.Pelosi protects him.Bush wants immunity for the telecoms.Pelosi rams it thru.The only difference between the two major partys today are the rights they want to take away from the people and the way in which they will do so.They all sware an oath to the constitution.How many of them pay any attention to it?A few people are waking up to that fact however there are still to many sheep to convince.As long as they let the sheep have thier two cars and tv in every room thier safe.

I am really tired of the Bush bashing. He is just doing things by the book so to speak. Yes the war in Iraq was a mistake, but come on...We will have a new POTUS after the election. Calm down. Gore lost, Kerry lost and Obama will loose Sorry had to toss in the last one. BTW I am one of the 30 percent who like Bush. So bash us not him. Respect the office.

As for Obama... He will win - IF there is an election. There is no way that they could explain away exit poll results (not to mention the fact that so many of us are sick of the Republicans and see McCain as an extension of the Bush regime...).

Don't put too much hope in polls. Obama is ahead of McCain by the exact same margin that Kerry was ahead of Bush at this stage of the 2004 election.
