During an interview with 60 Minutes, Barack Obama promised to exert his power to change NCAA football playoff rules. This may seem like a minor issue, but its implications are enormous. The executive power entrusted to the President is devoid of authority to meddle in private affairs that have nothing to do with governing the country. This is clear and simple misuse of power.

Just mentioning that he plans to use the influence of his new public office to change NCAA rules demonstrates that Obama cares little for limitations on federal power. This is unacceptable and all instances of misuse of power, no matter how minor, need to be checked.
The office of the President is constrained to enforcing national law (as defined by the Constitution and written by Congress), serve as Commander-in-Chief of the military, appoint federal officers, and make treaties.
It is important to keep all government decisions in perspective. Obama should not be expanding government's power for reasons that have nothing to do with governing our country. This NCAA example seems small, but in the larger scheme has far bigger implications.
