Letter body: 

The Oregonian editorial board ("Obama gets the substance right but not the process," Nov. 24) should begin by recognizing that we now have two branches of government...

Ask yourself not only, "What will happen now that President Obama may have stretched the limits of his executive authority?"...

What is the constitutional recourse for the executive in the event the legislative branch ceases to function — or even publicly defines its function solely as opposition to executive department proposals?

That's the question a president would have to ask. The answer cannot possibly be, "Do nothing" can it? You now have President Obama's answer: He will establish priorities and do as much as can be done.

Do you have a different answer?
