Obama Passes Bill Allowing Him to Bypass Senate for Appointments

The bill allows Obama — and future presidents — to appoint officials to nearly 170 positions in departments and agencies like the Department of Justice, Department of State, FEMA, USAID, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security.
According to Politico, the bipartisan legislation was sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lamar Alexander (R-TN), and it is another example of Congress ceding more of its powers to the executive.

yep i posted this last week.. that is what makes me nervous about voting obama out… the congress gives him more power and yet ppl think he is getting out of the WH… my gut tells me its not going to happen….
I agree with you. I believe that Obama and the brotherhoods gang have plans to try to keep Obama in the white house. I don’t trust Obama and I think he is very dangerous.
Wow!!! I tell you all this: Obama is a fighter…he is a power grabber!! Now, if Romney wins, I see a civil war happening!! I am certain Obama will never leave without a fight!!!
