Albert Lea Tribune editorial: Limit powers of U.S. presidents

Winona Daily News editorial: Gonzales: At our displeasure
The Winona Daily News' editorial board is not pleased with the U.S. Attorney General (or other key administration officials):
But the point seems to be lost on members of the Bush administration that they don’t work for the president; they work for the people. There seems to be a growing sense among Washington bureaucrats that they might only have to answer to the commander-in-chief himself. But Gonzales is no longer merely a legal adviser to the president; he is the U.S. Attorney General, the nation’s highest legal officer, and as such he has more than just a duty to the president.
This trend of reminding the public that those in the executive branch serve at the president’s pleasure does a disservice to their office and to the American public. Government is not here to serve itself. It does not exist for any other purpose than to support those who fund it and rely on it. Secondly, that type of response minimizes the role and power people should play in the system. It’s not just about the president. It’s also about the people.
There's more.
