What about your constitutional right to bear arms, you say. i would simply point out that you don’t have to exercise a constitutional right just because you have it. you have the constitutional right to run for president of the united states, but most people have too much sense to insist on exercising it.

My dad challenged every president from president [dwight] eisenhower and vice president [richard] nixon to president [j.f] kennedy, vice president [lindon] johnson to president johnson and vice president [hubert] humphrey. it`s challenging the administrations to do the right thing.
Dad Challenges President
There ought always to be a constitutional method of giving efficacy to constitutional provisions. what for instance would avail restrictions on the authority of the state legislatures, without some constitutional mode of enforcing the observance of them? . . . this power must either be a direct negative on the state laws, or an authority in the federal courts, to over-rule such as might be in manifest contravention of the articles of union.

In a president, character is everything. a president doesn't have to be brilliant... he doesn't have to be clever; you can hire clever... you can hire pragmatic, and you can buy and bring in policy wonks. but you cant buy courage and decency, you cant rent a strong moral sense. a president must bring those things with him. he needs to have, in that much maligned word, but a good one nonetheless, a vision of the future he wishes to create.. but a vision is worth little if a president doesn't have the character - the courage and heart - to see it through.
Courage Strong Clever
The president does not have power under the constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. as commander in chief, the president does have a duty to protect and defend the united states. in instances of self-defense, the president would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising congress or seeking its consent.

Experience shows that great enterprises seldom end with a tidy and satisfactory flourish. together, we are doing our best to re-establish peace and civil order in the gulf region, and to help those members of civil and ethnic minorities who continue to suffer through no fault of their own. if we succeed, our military success will have achieved its true objective.
