Thus we see that that basis of deciding LITTLE v. BARREME was that the President had ignored a specific limitation on his authority, not that he had merely over-reached it.
These observations lead us to this obvious conclusion: In the absence of a Congressional limitation, the Executive may exercise reasonable use of his Inherent Powers as head of the Executive Branch and Commander-in-Chief of the Military. But Congress may impose upon the President whatever limitations it may choose, under its Inherent Powers to enact all Federal laws.
Legislative power always supercedes Executive power. The tail must not wag the dog. If you doubt this, please re-read the Constitution at http://www.loveallpeople.org/usconstitutiona.txt
Blessings to you. May God help us all. And may God bless America!
