Treasury Department can take my money

Apparently, the President decided that The Secretary of Treasury may declare me an enemy combatant and seize my assets.

I would prefer a little due process with my government powers, like a judicial hearing, or even a trial. There is honest disagreement on this question, since it's supposed to be used to fight terrorists.

And it's an executive order, not a law. Whether the rule violates the 5th amendment ban on depriving me of my property without due process aside, the president doesn't get to make the laws. Yet he just keeps executive ordering and statement signing his days away.

Grr.
