Bush asserts authority to break the law whenever he wants to

Is it monarchy yet? - OK. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my civics teacher told me that Congress enacts law and has control over spending.

Unless the spending is for permanent bases in Iraq, anyway. In that case, Mr. Bush says Congress can't tell him what not to spend money on. The King already knows what he wants to do, and no pissant body elected by the grubby people can tell him otherwise.
