“Hugo Chavez, the leftist President of Venezuela,
took some additional steps yesterday to consolidate all political power in his
hands as Venezuela's congress passed legislation giving President Chavez the
right to 'rule by decree'. ”
Getting congress to pass legislation giving the executive power is so
twentieth century. Doesn't Hugo Chavez know that the modern way to do it is to
just unilaterally issue a signing statement claiming the desired powers?
