Sida 513 - No funds appropriated under the authority of this or any other Act may be expended by or on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency for operations in foreign countries, other than activities intended solely for obtaining necessary intelligence, unless and until the President finds that each such operation is important to the national security of the United States...

Sida 602 - The essence of the Legislative authority is to enact laws, or, in other words, to prescribe rules for the regulation of the society ; while the execution of the laws, and the employment of the common strength, either for this purpose, or for the common defence, seem to comprise all the functions of the Executive magistrate.
Sida 203 - President forthwith to demand of that government the reasons of such Imprisonment ; and If It appears to be wrongful and In violation of the rights of American citizenship, the President shall forthwith demand the release of such citizen, and If the release so demanded Is unreasonably delayed or refused, the President shall use such means, not amounting to acts of war, as he may think necessary and proper...
Sida 610 - When Congress prescribes a procedure concerning the admissibility of aliens, it is not dealing alone with a legislative power. It is implementing an inherent executive power.
