Biden may provide more entertainment than Obama

In defending himself he digs himself deeper;
Biden "bit back," according to Sammon, but unfortunately, he seems
to have bitten himself.  According to Biden, Cheney's "notion of a
unitary executive, meaning that, in time of war, essentially all power,
you know, goes to the executive, I think is dead wrong."  Well, once
again, Mr. Biden, that's no one's notion of the unitary executive
except confused Democrats.  The unitary executive is simply a
recognition, from the first sentence of Article II, Section 1 of the
Constitution, that the "executive Power shall be vested in a President
of the United States of America."  For the umpteenth time, it is not a
theory that the president's power is somehow enhanced, at the expense
of Congress, during wartime.  It is merely a recognition that there is
only one (i.e., uni-tary) executive and that any efforts by Congress to
give executive authority to someone other than the President is
unconstitutional.  It is not a theory about the balance of power
between the branches, but a statement about the authority of the
president within the Executive Branch.  The "notion" that a "unitary
executive" means that "in time of war, essentially all power, goes to
the executive," is indeed dead wrong.  But it's Biden's misconception
of that theory that is wrong, not Cheney's.

Keep it up, Joe.  At this rate, you'll know more about the Constitution than your non-lawyer predecessor in, well, never.
