Late last week long time Brevard Supervisor of Elections Lori Scott announced her retirement, effective October 3rd. Many were surprised by the announcement and its timing. We’ll hate to see her go; she’s done an amazing job in her service to our community. But, in true Lori Scott fashion, she’s leaving the office better than she found it and has set forth a path for its continued success, if the governor will only follow it in his appointment. We’ll discuss it in our 7am hour.
We’ll begin our day in my native land of WV where coal miners had an interesting interdiction with an Electric Vehicle. The irony is strong in this story. We’ve talked a lot recently about these EVs and wondered about what’s going on with the push for this not-ready-for-prime-time technology. What’s happening? We’re killing American industry and General Motors is leading the way.
Then, in our final hour Dave Bowman joins us with another edition of DAVE DOES HISTORY and it goes something like this:
It has been long established that the President has plenary powers when it comes to the foreign affairs of the nation. Wide latitude and power has been generally understood to be within the purview of the executive, as the Constitution is less than precise as to who exactly does what - other than advising and consenting on treaties.
Like many things though, that was not always the case. For much of our history it was presumed - by the Presidents and the Courts - that Congress was supreme. Rare was the President who would act on foreign affairs without at least some input from Congress.
