This podcast by Lee Hamilton is talking about how the President is expanding his power and that Congress has helped him expand that power. As well he talks about how lately Congress has been pushing back against the executive branch and is looking over more on the Bush Administration. Even though Congress is not doing enough. It is not over looking the budget and does not have administration officials on capital hill every day. He is suggesting that the executive branch should not be weakened but Congress should be strengthened.

I chose this because he is talking about what is going on today and is not suggesting anything bad. What he says is something to think about. We know how powerful the executive branch is becoming and to counter that Congress should be strengthened as well. To best serve the people Congress needs to be far more assertive and to live up to the expectation of the original framers. He gives good ideas on how to achieve this goal.
