How ambitious is President Bush's plan to consolidate federal power in the Oval Office? On the next Your Call, we discuss the president's unprecedented power grab with Pulitzer Prize winning Boston Globe reporter Charlie Savage. In his new book, Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy, Savage traces the strategies adopted by President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney to release the president from congressional constraint and oversight. It is one of the most complete indictments of this president and practically a legal brief for impeachment. Call in with your questions about presidential power on the next Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
