Feingold: Bush is not King

Yes. Thats exactly what he said. Bush is not king .

Here is the exact statement:

“The President's shocking admission that he authorized the National Security Agency to spy on American citizens, without going to a court and in violation of the Constitution and laws passed by Congress, further demonstrates the urgent need for these protections. The President believes that he has the power to override the laws that Congress has passed. This is not how our democratic system of government works. The President does not get to pick and choose which laws he wants to follow. He is a president, not a king.".

If he were a king, Bush will have no problem. However, just believing that he is a king is not enough. I predict that he will have serious legal problems with this issue. As McCain and Specter already indicated, an investigation should be launched soon. Before we are transformed into.... the Kingdom of the United States of America.
