Somebody should have deported this SOB a long time ago.

This is the main problem. This lunatic has pushed the envelope so far, so fast, every president after him will have greater power now.

This also illustrates how far Congress has ceded their power to the presidency. Bad precedents all around.

The only path open to congress is defund or impeachment.

Henry VIII, as egregious as he was, made a point to work with his Parliament. He never had to work outside his Parliament because it was pretty much a rubber-stamped deal.

What Obama has done is act just like a Roman tyrant, ignoring laws as if he had no Congress to deal with.

Don’t limit this to Obama. The problem lies in the office of the president having become too powerful, at the expense of the legislative and judicial branches, the states and the people.

The presidency needs a “haircut.”

To start with, a conservative POTUS needs to work with a conservative congress to do it right. Things like Presidential Signing Statements, Proclamations that grab state lands, national disaster dictatorship plans (which every president since Eisenhower have signed on to), Czars, and many other bad behaviors need to be eliminated outright.

Other things need to be reinforced and clarified, like the War Power Act and Posse Comitatus Act, the explicit limitations to Executive Privilege, the ability of congress to impeach cabinet officers and other appointees, the ability of congress to fire General Service bureaucrats and close agencies and bureaus of government, etc.

Non-government persons (especially first ladies) should be officially stripped of any notions that they have authority.

The FED needs auditing, as well as ALL of America’s strategic resources, especially our metals reserves.

This list goes on and on.
