At the close of Senator Feingold's principled call for resolution to censure the President of the United States for violating the law, including and principally the Constitution's 4th Ammendment, he, at the close of his speech, mentioned Federalist 51 (James Madison paper) in passing as a reference that provides proof of his case, the lawful necessity of Constitutional checks on Executive Power. That Federalist 51 document is below, and some excerpts here, which also proves that "republican" (representative deliberation) government is constitutional law, contrary to the erroneous and corrupt notion of "democracy" (majority mob rule), which is what President wants--i.e. voting equals fiat power! The constitution does not provide for "executive unitary power"--ever, especially in war (even if it were a real one)!

The Federalist No. 51
The Structure of the Government Must Furnish the Proper Checks and Balances Between the Different Departments
Independent Journal
Wednesday, February 6, 1788
[James Madison]
To the People of the State of New York:
TO WHAT expedient, then, shall we finally resort, for maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the Constitution? The only answer that can be given is, that as all these exterior provisions are found to be inadequate, the defect must be supplied, by so contriving the interior structure of the government as that its several constituent parts may, by their mutual relations, be the means of keeping each other in their proper places. ...
... But it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self-defense. In republican government [Ed. not "democracy"!], the legislative authority necessarily predominates. .... usurpations are guarded against by a division of the government into distinct and separate departments.
