What Presidential Power Allows?

[The Rabbi]

What presidential power does Obama have that allows him to postpone implementing parts of Obamacare, when the law itself specifies implementation time?

Haven't you heard? Obama is the Messiah President...come to save us from ourselves. He "corrects" the course of a sinking ship by Executive Order.

None but he's operating off of Presidential precedent and he'll get away with it unless a direct legal challenge is mounted and then the next President will push the envelop just a bit farther and so on and so forth, the end of this particular road is Caesar, American Style.

 

[TemplarKormac]

There is none.

The President is bound by his oath and by the Constitution to faithfully uphold the Constitution itself and the laws that take effect during his tenure. When he tries to delay a law from taking effect, he breaches his power as our president. So as it stands, he has failed to do both.

 

[OriginalShroom]

He's operating off the fact that the Media isn't going to attack him and that the Democrats have his back. The Republicans, whenever they do try, are accused of being racists by both the Media and Democrats.

 

[The Rabbi]

It is unbelievable. He arrogates to himself the power of Congress, picking and choosing which laws he wants to be law. He complains about an uncooperative Congress but that was precisely the point of the Constitution. If the Founders wanted an efficient government they would have made a dictatorship. Congress, esp the House, is the most representative of the branches of gov't. Obama wasn't even elected by the American people, the House members were.
Obama shreds the Constitution and no one says boo.

 

[Darkwind]

Look on the bright side. When the next GOP President takes office, he can then just stop enforcing obamacare. The precedent will have been set.

We don't have a president, we have a president who thinks and acts as though he's a king.

Yesterday, our great leader declared "healthcare insurance is a RIGHT".



Sounds like a central planner that believes rights are granted by government...and taken away at will. What a sad moment in the history of this once great country.

A federal court has already taken steps to deny this abuse of power. The AG will fight it and it'll go to SCOTUS

 

[Mad Scientist]

None! But here's your problem:

Congress won't Impeach him because they're Corrupt and Bought Off and the American People care more about their favorite Sports Teams and who the Kardashians are fvcking.

So what choo gunna' do?

It's a "right" that if you are in his inner circle you can get an exemption from paying for or participating in.

I've never heard of people deliberatel exempting themselves from a right. This must be something new.

All of you shithouse lawyers can read here why the President is right, legally/constitutionally,

and why you are, of course and as usual, wrong.

Wow, what a bunch of bullshit.
Yeah, Obama cannot decide he will not enforce a law just because it is unworkable or any other reason. The law was passed, he signed it. The law contained a schedule for implementation. He has no power to change that.

No part of legitimate, Constitutionally-granted power or authority allows any such thing.

What Obama is doing in that regard is not Constitutional.

 

[IlarMeilyr]

When Pres. Nixon tried to "impound" funds, his action got shot down.

Why?

Because despite the completely baseless nonsense which morons like carby wish to believe, the Executive dos not write the laws. The Legislative Branch does that.

Then the Congress has no right to defund it either, applying your own 'logic'.

^ carby does not understand the concept associated with checks and balances and the power of the purse. Or, maybe he does; but he chooses, instead, to pretend not to "see" it.
