Today, John McCain detailed what he envisions achieving as President by the end of his first term in 2013.
John McCain will put the national interest ahead of partisanship to build an America that is safer, freer and more prosperous than when he was elected.
When John McCain is President, the era of the permanent campaign will end. He will work with anyone who wants to get this country moving again and will listen to any idea intended to solve our problems, not make them worse.
In forming government policy, John McCain will work with members of Congress from both parties.
John McCain's administration will set new standards for transparency and accountability.
John McCain will not leave our problems for another unluckier generation of Americans to fix after they have become even harder to solve.
John McCain also outlined his views on presidential power. The President's powers are rightly checked by the other branches of government, and John McCain will not attempt to acquire powers granted to Congress. He will exercise his veto but not subvert legislation through statements.
