To the Editor:

   The powers and duties of the president of the United States are many and contentious. But our constitution is clear explicit that "he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed". The president has many hands; the Department of Justice is his to direct, through his Attorney General.  Executives of any party who haven't prosecuted torturers or malefactors in the Financial Sector haven't fulfilled their job descriptions. This has given the appearance that our CIA or our investment banks are above the law. That is corrosive to our faith in our president, and to our society.
