I believe the only support for a unitary president rests with the neocons, whose influence has been weakened. However, their influence will continue to be felt if another Republican becomes president. I don't think independents and progressives would allow a Democratic president to assume unitary powers. Corporatist Democrats such as Clinton may think otherwise.

Thanks for the info, host. I knew Hoover was behind a lot of dirty business, but this bit is new to me.
