President Bush declared Friday that the federal government can only seize private property for a public use such as a hospital or road.

The president signed an executive order in response to a Supreme Court decision granting local governments broad power to bulldoze people's homes to make way for private development.

A year ago the Supreme Court, in a split decision, got eminent domain wrong, by expanding the powers of local governments to seize private proeprty, thus limiting the rights of homeowners. Since that decision, there has been a number of State governments (including Minnesota) working on legislation to restore the rights of property owners.
