The Balance of Power and The Bill of Rights to be Assured for the People

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.
