Wikipedia Upon taking office, a President solemnly swore to “faithfully execute the Office of President …” and “to the best of [his] ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” And under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, a President is legally obligated to “take care that the laws faithfully executed…” Not make up his/her laws to suit the situation. Ours is a nation of laws, with an executive branch of significant but distinctly limited powers. This has been the foundation of our democratic system of checks and balances since the Founders rejected a proposal for a quasi-monarchical lifetime presidency. The idea that a President can do no wrong and is answerable to no one is contrary to our national heritage and laws. We are all bound by the law. Those who subvert the rule of law must be held accountable, including the President. “Shall any man be above justice?” George Mason asked in 1787 at the Constitutional Convention. “Above all, shall that man be above it, who can commit the most extensive injus- tice?” “This interference includes, among other things, pressur- ing a foreign country to investigate one of the President’s main domestic political rivals.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019: This year, you appear to be very intense and at times possessive. Zero in on what you want, and use that Libra sparkle to achieve it. If you’re single, your multifaceted personality could be confusing to some, but the right person will like it. If you’re attached, the two of you lead an even more emotional life than in the recent past. DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker You have strong desires, as does your sweetie. SCORPIO points the way.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So- so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Your determination punctuates the a.m. You want what you want. First you will try logic, maybe assertiveness. Inspiring others to go down the chosen path might work best. You cannot force anyone to do anything. Tonight: Relax, and a good time could be had by all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) SCARY GARY Mark Buford  Most of you accept the process of shaking up the status quo. Others might still be unnerved, yet some of you love seeing the end results. These are periods to go for what you want. Tonight: As you like. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  As jovial and fun as you can be, you also know when to buckle down. You demon- strate how facile you can be when a respected associate comes up with a dreamy plan. Discuss how to implement it. Tonight: An associate or Crosswords friend is full of news. CANCER (June 21-July 22)  You act like a mood ring, con- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni stantly changing colors, only you change thoughts and feelings. Use this to empower a relationship or a creative endeavor. A call from a distance or a desire to take a mini-trip flags your attention for a while. Tonight: Be naughty and nice. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  Tension runs high as you attempt to get past what feels like an emotional embargo. A loved one could be instrumental in helping you see the path. You might opt to change a pat- tern in your life to allow more opportunities to come forward. Tonight: Entertain at your place! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) B.C. Mastroianni and Hart  A suggestion from a partner or dear friend might seem too idealistic. Stop thinking that way, and watch what you desire materialize. An openness helps you get past an uptight person. He or she might see possibilities too. Tonight: Meet friends for munchies. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  An element of discord runs through your day. You might not be as present as you think. Your mind drifts to new ideas that could be too idealistic for you to run with generally. Why not give it a shot? Tonight: Soak tension away in a hot, soapy bath. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your sense of well-being and con- ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie fidence keeps adversaries at bay. Besides, they like the ideas you come up with, even if they don’t always compliment you. A conversation proves enlightening, but both of you have difficulty moving off your positions. Tonight: Whatever suits you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  You feel much energy around you, but on some level it might seem difficult for others to discuss. Never fear; you will get an earful in a short while. Use the day to handle a personal concern or a financial matter. Tonight: Take a personal night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett You have the discipline to achieve a cherished goal. You do not need to manipulate; your steadiness helps you hit a home run. Do not allow confusion to take over; instead, try to confirm times and places. Tonight: Be open to a far-out idea. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  Be aware of what you are doing. An unconscious agenda could be at work. If you see yourself doing or saying something off the wall, stop. Stay anchored, and you can achieve a long- term goal. Your image will be helped too. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends. Cryptoquip PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)  You could be emotionally strung ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe out.
