This is a great article outlining exactly what the Presidential power is and his responsibilities to the FISA court are.

It has said, unambiguously, what black-letter law has long made manifest: a statute cannot trump the Constitution. The president has authority to conduct surveillance against foreign national security threats without seeking judicial permission. No matter how clear FISA is, and no matter how regularly presidents respectfully work within its terms, FISA cannot take that authority away.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/899C3BE3-5A72-40A8-A23C-0046C0B829A6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
