major rules is tantamount to the act of congress on using chief justice rehnquist for morrison versus olson but of one branch self aggrandizing at the expense of another branch. again, we are using chief justice rehnquist's words. the act of congress which would impermissibly interfere with the president exercised if his constitutionally appointed function. these are serious questions. i would not be so presumptuous to say that i know how the supreme court would rule. if they want to invoke justice briar i would refer them respectfully to justice scalia as well who has been among all the justices the guardian of the president's power. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back the remainder of my time. >> he did not violate it too badly. the chair recognizes the gentleman from south carolina. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i would like to make my own statement part of the record with your consent. i want to thank all three of our panelists. mr. mcintosh, i will start -- >> without objection. >> that you, mr. chairman. what in your judgment is the proper balance between t

that went through the white house council office and the president was told olson and starr are right for once. [laughter] >> seriously did want to add a little perspective from very small role in the white house. i don't think the other branches, realize i'm surrounded by judges many of whom i have argued, certainly from the executive branch perspective, other branches do not have the same level of accountability and responsibility for their actions. in terms of if something disastrous happens, the person who adds responsibility is the president of the united states. he is the only one who takes an oath that says preserve, protect, and defend the constitution. every other federal office is support and defend. it's not as controversial as what you have been talking about. there was a government shutdown in the reagan, and clinton administration. they got blamed different ways. both president, and i think every president in that situation will actively disobey fundamental propositions having to do with congress must appropriate money. and they will pay the military and keep in place pe

my name is craig olson. i'd like to ask both how free are your independent schools and/or franchise or private schools as you call it in chile to set compensation and benefits for teachers and other employees of the school system? or, i notice that emilsson, june noticed the reunion so is that a constraint? and then for mr. emilsson, if the independent schools in sweden are doing so well as you pointed out, why then are barely one in 10 of the 11 -- the seven to 16-year-olds enrolled, nine of 10 still in public schools? >> well, let's take the second first. you know, some rural areas up to 50% already now. if you say it's only your lost 10, 12 years, it really has taken off and expanding rapidly now. the key constraint for opening more schools is difficult to find locations. so it will continue to grow rapidly. yes, we have made a collective agreement with a trade union. and, of course, they will accept that we can increase salaries as we like, but we did exactly the same amount of money as the other schools

but once he took office and the guys that the office of legal counsel, ted olson, ties with the attorneyent of the united states just do not in maricopa and repented of his position. much of the chagrined to write to the domestic policy and the white house about this is a very important device. why does the president change his view? because the justice department told us it was unconstitutional. and that to me is one of the great vaults of the justice department to play in ensuring as best they can presidential fidelity to god. >> you've got people on this panel, kathleen, who celebrate the president's fidelity to his oath to uphold the constitution and his decision to subordinate the obligation, take care that the law be enforced to the superior obligation of constitutional over statutory law. i think from time to time you've expressed some concern that those in the executive branch have gone too far in asserting the president's authority to do this. how can you defend such an ill considered vehicle? [laughter] >> well, i haven't worked in the justice department. anything to work in th
