(32,324 posts)Anyone familiar with history would have to go back to the summer of 1963, to see JFK using the Constitution to enable himself to write an executive order that helps the American people. so that the Fed Reserve would die a slow but sure death.
In Kennedy's case, he wrote out Executive Order 11110, which once fully employed, would have allowed for the slow but certain death of the Federal reserve. It is important to consider that Kennedy died within just a week shy of six months of doing this. Although still on the books, this Exec Order has never been implemented.
Since then, most Presidents have been far too beholden to, and controlled by the Powers that Be, to consider for even a minute the portion of the Constitution allowing themselves to actually act on behalf of the American people.
Do I hope Obama will do this? Yes.
However given his stance on giving the middle class wealth over to the Bernanke/Geithner duo and their buddies in Big Finance, and also his enthusiastically embracing their "Too Big To Fail" "Too Big To Jail" Bailout policies, also Monsanto's Gm policies, his stance on the MIC/Surveillance state, etc., I am not holding my breath.
