Addendum to John Galt's posting:
Should this entire this entire Executive Branch be hung? Are you insane Mr. Galt? Insanity is semantically referred to as an inability to discern right from wrong. I reason most of the public would agree with me that it is insane, and more so criminal, to advocate the execution of our elected officials. You are no more under the control of the current administration than I am possessed by the man in the Moon. Our tripartite system of Government has specific checks and balances in place to circumvent any attempt by one branch to seize power. Every Presidental edict or command is subject to strict scrutiny by the Congress and the Supreme Court. If you think another election will materially change the course of this nation's quest for sovereignty, you are mistaken. Perhaps if you listened less to Cindy Sheehan, and more to John Rawls, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and other philosophers in contemporay society you would be more hesitant to clutter the net with nonsense.

More than half the presidents have served under a commander before taking office. That service, says historian Michael Beschloss, had a particular impact on these six:
George Washington
Top military rank: General
Presidential term: 1789–97
Lessons learned: After the Revolutionary War, Washington knew the British remained a serious threat. As president, he signed an unpopular treaty that kept the country safe from British invasion.
Andrew Jackson
Top military rank: Major general
Presidential term: 1829-37
Lessons learned: Jackson stood up against a strong British Army and won. That David-vs.-Goliath battle gave him the courage to take on foes like the Second U.S. Bank.
Theodore Roosevelt
Top military rank: Colonel
Presidential term: 1901-09
