Executive Order legal definition of Executive Order
The president's power to issue executive orders comes from Congress and the U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution is VERY CLEAR as to what the president may do with an EO. He may NOT arbitrate which laws he will enforce and those he will not. He can also not MAKE law....only SIGN laws into effect. This piece of crap has no ability to work with Congress or anybody who doesn't sit and look at him with adoration. He's little more than an aging movie actress past her prime, smiling at her remaining fans, and working like a witch behind the scenes to get even with those who've left her behind.
I am not agreeing to what he is doing .I think it's wrong.
I am saying that it is lawful.
Executive Order legal definition of Executive Order
Historically,executive orders related to routine administrative matters and to the internal operations of federal agencies, such as amending Civil Service Rules and overseeing the administration of public lands. More recently, presidents have used executive orders to carry out legislative policies and programs. As a result, the executive order has become a critical tool in presidential policy making. For example, President john f. kennedy used an executive order to eliminate racial discrimination in federally funded housing (Exec. Order No. 11,063, 3 C.F.R. 652 [1959–1963], reprinted in 42 U.S.C.A. § 1982 app. at 6-8 [1982]); President lyndon b. johnson acted through an executive order to prohibit discrimination in government contractors' hiring practices (Exec. Order No. 11,246, 3C.F.R. 339 [1964–1965], reprinted in 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e app. at 28-31 [1982], amended by Exec. Order No. 11,375, 3 C.F.R. 684 [1966–1970], superseded by Exec. Order No. 11,478, 3 C.F.R. 803 [1966–1970], reprinted in 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e app. at 31-33 [1982]); and President richard m. nixon used an executive order to set a ninety-day freeze on all prices, rents, wages, and salaries in reaction to rising inflation and unemployment (Exec. Order No. 11,615, 3C.F.R. 602 [1971–1975], amended by Exec. Order No. 11,617, 3 C.F.R. 609 [1971–1975], superseded by Exec. Order No. 11,627, 3 C.F.R. 621 [1971–1975]).
Show me where it's okay for a president to do irreversible damage to the economy through executive fiat?
Obama figures that the GOP doesn't have the balls to stop him because although the media is almost totally ignoring this Obamcare firestorm, they'll literally crucify them if they hammer the President for abusing his executive authority.
I think Obama is yet again making an error in judgment. We'll see what they do to him if he grants amnesty.
Go for it! The slack jawed cracker jackanapes will spend millions in taxpayer money like the always going after nothing instead of governing, how did that work out for the jackanapes last time
