Post Obama talks about overturning Bush's unconstitutional EO's
http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/0 ... bama-says/

November can't get here fast enough.

If elected president, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office.

Those that don’t pass muster will be overturned, he said.

During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.

“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama

Any examples of ones that will likely be overturned?

I'm sure all the ones authorizing torture would be at the top of the list.
