Comment on Private Manning’s Humiliationparent

The President is sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution (by law, and upon accepting office). He can do this through whatever means are available to him, including executive orders, and rallying public support for legislation.

BTW, the title is "inflammatory" because the situation justifies it. It's an inflammatory situation, as it should be!

Find whatever excuse you want though for not approving this. Whatever helps you sleep.

I'm trying to find something that will let me take action. A letter to the President politely asking him to make the Pentagon be nice would be filed right next to all the letters asking him to ban Martians.

It's not actionable. I can't do anything with it. I've gone through the wiki on Presidential powers and don't see it.
