Talk:Unitary Executive

A bit of a change around
I have broken up this text a little:
 * The theory of the unitary executive spans a range of views. At one end it says that the President, i.e. the unitary executive, has the power to appoint, direct and remove executive officers.  He also has the power to interpret the law as it applies to the executive.  At the other end of the spectrum it has a very strong President with a Congress and Judiciary that give great deference to the President.

The thing is, this isn't a spectrum of views on a single issue, because it's two entirely separate issues, on each of which there might be a range of views. I realize that no Senator on either side who has mentioned this in the Alito hearings seems to have the faintest idea what the term means, but we should be clear here as to exactly what issues are implicated, lest it become accidentally POV. Anyway, I think the new version is more accurate, more descriptive, and NPOV. Simon Dodd 00:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Should this article not merge with Unitary Executive theory?--Nomen Nescio 18:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Very possibly - I think there's some good material in both, though, so it isn't just a question of deleting one and going with the other. I suppose the question is: should this article be merged into that, or vice-versa? I think that "unitary executive theory" is probably a better description, so I will merge this article into that one, and redirect as appropriate. Simon Dodd 20:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
