Does the OP even know the structure of his own Government? Who has power in those houses? How the structure works? And could this be another hyper-partisan yelling in the wilderness for attention?
The Executive Order, the Bush and Cheney beloved Presidential privilege, is now about to come around - after going around!
This time in the hands of our Democrat President!
Oh, rant #1 already:
Activists want Obama executive orders to legalize the illegal
Foreseeing the congressional failure of their cherished immigration-reform efforts to give citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens, activists are now banking on their man in the White House to give them what they want even without Congress going along.
Activists want Obama executive orders to legalize the illegal - BizPac Review
President Obama has used very few Exec Orders and if he were going to do any of what the right says he is, he would have been busy long before now. Unless they want us to believe he plans to do all this stuff during his next term.
Dumb link but -
He has made our southern border all but impassable. After years of Napalitano begging McCain and Kyl for more Border Patrol agents, it was Obama who did just that. He has also departed more illegals - especially criminals - than any other president. All of that was in spite of obstruction from the Rs.
Its the other three borders that are a threat to us now but the Rs won't even discuss that.
The US has the Mexican and Canadian border. What other borders are you talking about? The ones next to Jacksonville and Charleston?

If he does, it's over.

Well then, it's strange that the Senate is just as immovable as the House.

True, the 400 Republican filibusters have made the Senate unmovable.
The Republican plan from the beginning was to block anything that Obama tried to get thru Congress - no matter what it was.
They have been successful to a point: (See 50 of the Greatest Obama Accomplishments)
But that is all changing now - the Executive Order is alive and well !!
President Obama can issue another 144 executive orders before he surpasses George Bush's total.Consolidated list of Presidents and Executive Orders

There's not too much he can do with EO's. Try and remain calm, brainwashed hater dupes. There are several reasons the GOP is imploding, immigration, shutting down the gov't, debt ceiling, all the TP insanity.
The new GOP mantra is to delegitimize, defund, derail, and destroy the basic government functions that serve the people while preserving the corporate welfare for the 1% at all costs.. All pretense of doing the people's work has vanished. Republicans appear to have mounted an all-out attack on the citizenry. The initiatives that they have championed--gun rights, abortion restrictions, weakening Social Security and Medicare, repealing Obamacare, eliminating food stamps--all seem designed to shoot, enslave, sicken or starve us into submission. They've fought collective bargaining, unemployment compensation, and every other program that might help ordinary people. They refuse to raise revenue, and then claim that there is no money to help anyone.

Odd, why did the people give control of the House to the GOP?
Julius Caesar did the same, how'd that work out for him?
