Words Of The Day: 'Abdicate' And 'Reassert'

Scott Lemieux steals from me, so for fun I search my blog for instances of 'abdicate' and 'reassert' in the context of war powers and/or Legislative dominance over the Executive:

• Abdicate
  • July 04: Which One's The Saucer?
  • Aug 04: Nuance
  • May 06: Don't Bank On It
  • Feb 07: Another Step
• Reassert
  • Feb 08: Unsafe In Any Election
  • Feb 09: The Dark Knight Returns
  • Mar 09: I Write More Letters
  • Apr 12: Your Winnings, Mr Obama

Naturally I've also written on the general concepts and specific policies without those precise words, too.  Yeah, it's a snow day.
