"What is the difference between decision maker and dictator? by drummer55 Fri Jan 26, 2007 at 01:09:39 PM PST Seriously? I'd like to know. This man bush holds the office of President of the United States of America. As I understand it that office is one of 3 co-equal branches of government. So how is "dictator" any different than "decider" or the "decision maker"? Right now he can declare a National Emergency at any time, and freeze everything. This is because The John W. Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2006 was passed and that gutted the law passed in 1807 that limited the presidents power to "take over". sourcewatch.org. Here are a few other executive orders the decider has EO 10990: "allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports." EO 10995: Federal seizure of all communications media in the US. EO 10997: Federal seizure of all electric power, fuels, minerals, public and private. EO 10998: Federal seizure of all food supplies and resources, public and private and all farms and equipment. EO 10999: Federal seizure of all means of transportation, including cars, trucks, or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports and water ways. EO 11000: Federal seizure of American people for work forces under federal supervision, including the splitting up of families if the government so desires. EO 11001: Federal seizure of all health, education and welfare facilities, both public and private. EO 11002: Empowers the Postmaster General to register every single person in the US. EO 11003: Federal seizure of all airports and aircraft. EO 11004: Federal seizure of all housing and finances and authority to establish forced relocation. Authority to designate areas to be abandoned as 'unsafe,' establish new locations for populations, relocate communities, build new housing with public funds. EO 11005: Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, both public and private. EO 11051: Provides FEMA complete authorization to put above orders into effect in times of increased international tension of economic or financial crisis (FEMA will be in control incase of 'National Emergency'). EO 12919 "Apparently Allows Cabinet Heads to Make Direct Loans to Government Contractors what if he decides that the congress is no longer needed? Can he decide it away? dictator is different from decider? how?
