...gone away even if the dollar remains buoyant, he said, warning of a "dangerous degree of complacency" among investors. "The weakest link in the global growth chain in 2006 is the most important link, and that is the American consumer," Roach cautioned. If the economy does continue to hum along, it's partly by accident. What's conspicuously absent, the economists agreed, is a constructive dialogue between policymakers in both China and the U.S. that would put the two nations' increasingly interdependent economic relationship on a more balanced footing.

Likewise, the Constitution doesn’t provide for the executive to supersede any other law that might confound...
