1 " Jefferson was ambivalent about executive power – until he bore executive responsibility. "
― Jon Meacham , Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
2 " The very purpose of the Second Amendment is to stop the government from disallowing people the means to defend themselves against tyranny. Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible. "
3 " Executive power in any nation arguably has more in common with executive power in another country than with the citizens it should serve. "
4 " Making recess appointments when the Senate isn't in recess is neither rational nor moderate. It's a raw misuse of executive power by a president whose love of government is his most vulnerable spot with the electorate. "
