Yeah, as I said, maybe in the morning I can pull up specific citations, but in the meantime, do you really doubt the concept of separate but equal branches of the government?

I would think that such a concept is very basic civics education with required to the US government.

And really that's all that's needed to support what I'm saying here. If you have separate but equal branches then that means the executive branch cannot be subservient to the legislative branch.

This is all part of the checks and balances involved in the US government design. To have the legislative branch authorize and the executive branch execute is a check to make sure that both sides are in agreement ask for any expenditure.
