"He is president of the United States, not king of the United States," Senate
Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) told reporters in his home state. "He has another branch of government, a legislative branch of government, he has to deal with."
The legislature has another branch of government to deal with as well. Yes, and Harry ought to remember that the legislature shouldn't lord over the people either even as they set themselves up as princes, passing their now hereditary seats to their children, wives and family members with rights and pensions now "appropriately" given to the new royalty.
Of course, if the Senate and the House make themselves the new Commanders-in Chiefs they might just get their purple togas. At last, Byrd might sigh, at last.
