Since Congress has stalemated (refer to the previous links about whether it is broken), Obama apparently will push his agenda with executive orders.
This includes an order establishing a panel to discuss ways to reduce the budget deficit after such an effort was killed in the Senate.
in 2302 we will be discussing the factors which have led to an increase in executive power over the years. Could the current impasse in Congress lead to even greater executive powers? If so it would be an ironic result since Obama's opponents trumped the virtues of limited government.
