Bush undermining Constitution

Regarding the Dec. 17 article, “Foreign policy is president's job”: I wholeheartedly agree — only if upholding the U.S. Constitution is job one. A president's first consideration above all else is to defend, protect and preserve the U.S. Constitution. This is a sworn oath taken the day he assumes office, a serious undertaking and certainly not to be delegated to Mickey Mouse. I just think Bush is doing a terrible job, certainly not the actions of one with the interests of our Constitution in mind. An example is the countless blunders, needless deaths and no plan for winning in the Iraqi war. And yet, Bush still carries on with this foreign policy like he has no responsibility toward the very Vonstitution he has sworn to uphold. I believe he has no right to do this. He is putting the U.S. Constitution in possible jeopardy on a mere “fling.” He's definitely had the time to rethink this policy. What will it take? He is risking the safety and the ideals the Constitution represents by going into a foreign country with violence. Given these attacks of his, I definitely feel this president is seriously compromising the meaning of the very oath he had taken to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
