Who Needs a Congress?

Hagel:
"To hear some of my colleagues say that we should dispense with this frivolous debate because the president has threatened to veto, what a waste of our time -- well, if you logically follow that through, Mr. President, why do we need a Congress? . . . Mr. President, we tried a monarchy once. It's not suited to America," - Senator Chuck Hagel, Wednesday.
Well, Senator Hagel, the petulant President did once say it would be much easier if he was dictator, so I wouldn't be so surprised by his disdain for congressional oversight, now that we actually have a Congress that will do oversight of the executive branch. Nice of someone from your side for noticing though.
