Presidents and members of Congress swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Few members of Congress come close to actually doing so and really, none of the Presidents in my lifetime have. Including Reagan. Most view it as a game of passing as many laws or executive orders that they personally agree with and hoping that the unelected judiciary will let them get away with it. And for the most part, the judiciary does.

So yes, a President who was actually interested in upholding his or her oath could do a great deal of good. That would also be a once in a century President.

President Cruz should not use Executive Orders to change the law of the land.

He should introduce legislation to accomplish the deconstruction of the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist state that has been forced upon us.

Said legislation should be written prior to his inauguration, and be ready for House and Senate votes immediately!

Furthermore, any and all illegal and unconstitutional Executive Orders that are in place on January 20, 2017 should be immediately cancelled as President Cruz first order of business.

And, in the process, he should make it abundantly clear that there are limits to Presidential Executive Orders.

The USA is a Republic, not a Dictatorship!

501-C3 held over the head of churches to keep their political opinions silent? Money for cooperation with the regime? Why would anyone with a clear moral head allow themselves to be silenced for money?

I say “Pay the tax and keep the regime out of the church.” Too bad we can’t just have St. Peter catch a fish and pull the coins out of its mouth, but the tax savings are not worth being silenced.

You Sir, have nailed this issue "perfectly", especially the Apostle Peter perspective.

The RATS and Obama set the precedent for the use of "Prosecutorial Discretion" with his unconstitutional AMNESTY so IF AND WHEN the Grand Old Party can win a WH seat, all they have to do is grow a pair. Who is gonna argue against it?

Well ... effectively repealing the Johnson Amendment of 1954 (via executive action) would be a DAMNED HARD genie to put back in the bottle ...

You'd probably see a wiff of armed resistance ... who knows ?
