2. Incorrect. He did usurp the power of congress in late 2001 (I believe) when he
illegally directed 700,000,000 to Iraq war planning. He also weakened congress's ability to make decisions on funding when he lied to congress about medicare costs....and there are many more examples of either spending money congress hasn't authorized or refusing to spend money and implement programs congress has authorized.

How is it that he raided social security trust fund? Who authorized that?
