Well that second matter you mentioned (the GAO request) seems to be the same never-ending turf battle that goes on between the Executive and the Legislative branches under our system of gov....

In the end, it works out to be what our founding fathers intended - a balance of powers, with the third branch, the Judicial, breaking the occasional tie.

Battles even happen when one party controls both branches... but they seem to get more intense when the party balance is close.

Clinton admin, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Truman... turf battles all occured.

Don't get hyper over rabid press reports, checks and balances are GOOD. No one wants to wind up in a dictatorship.
