2. It's whatever Bush and Co. say it is............

4. Hate to say it!
A command or an authorization given by a political electorate to its representative.

5. Getting in office
with a majority in Congress. That's a mandate. Unless the Senate libs can hold on, but I don't think they have the balls.
