Now all we need is a fire in the Reichstag

Fill a foreigner in this please, does that mean that in case of an emergency, the president has total authority to overule the constitution itself?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Indeed a sad world that we live in, were lobbyists control what happen in our lives, but I was asking more in terms like, in case of an international crisis the president becoming the sole mastermind behind U.S. fate, I always though the senate controlled those things. (excuse my naiveness, politics isn't a strong subject around here)

How ya doing, buddy?
