Whether you are talking about cooperation between the parties or the branches of government, I suppose it is not constitutionally required. Which kinda makes one wonder why Bush can't just go ahead and set the deadline he wants to hand over power, rather than getting all conciliatory with his shrill critics at DU. Maybe the man is a uniter, not a divider. Or maybe he'd get out of Iraq tomorrow if it would assure his re-election.
