Who is this guy named Boland?Lan Di 20:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Intro
In the first line, we need a concise summary of what the amendment actually said/did. Ojcit 05:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Background
When referencing the notion that the CIA's acts of sabotage upset the Republican-controlled Senate, I see a fallacy. The Democrats swept the Congressional elections in 1982, and I would find it hard to believe that a Republican Congress would be outraged with a Republican President.

Background Item
Last paragraph unequivocally states that the secret diversion fo funds by Col. North received "explicit presidential approval". If that were a non-debatable fact, we would have been talking about the '86 Democratic Congress attempting to impeach Reagan. Hence, I insert the qualifier "some allege". 65.115.32.162 00:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Characterization of Civil War
I edited the first sentence to make it nPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.102.193 (talk) 03:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Impounding
An editor made an edit which was reverted, concerning "impoundment." Editors should be aware that impoundment has been around since Jefferson, though not used much until Franklin Roosevelt. Used a lot afterwards to derail projects the President disapproved of. In the continuing war between the two branches, this came to a head during the Nixon administration and the President lost this option for all time for all future presidents. But Nixon didn't make this up! Student7 (talk) 00:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
