"... he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed ...[.]" That phrase comes directly from the US Constitution, Article II, Section 3. The "he" refers to the president of the United States. This phrase leaves no wiggle room, no personal discretion or interpretation, no "way out" if a law that has been passed by Congress, but it's not ready to or can't be implemented. It must be faithfully executed. Yet ignoring what is in the US Constitution is exactly what has recently happened with the employer mandate portion of the abomination that is the Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare. And what is currently going on.
You remember, the bill that had to be passed in order for us to see what was/is in it. You know, the scheme that has been sooooooooooo successful lately - at spending taxpayer money, not at enrolling citiens.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said about ObamaCare in August 2013:
This is no longer a political debate; this is what we call the law. It was passed and signed three years ago. It was upheld by the Supreme Court a year ago. The president was re-elected. This is the law of the land.
Section 1513(d) of the Affordable Care Act states that "The amendments made by this section shall apply to months beginning after December 31, 2013."
Employer mandate implementation is now proposed to be delayed until 2015, after the 2014 mid-term elections. White House political hacks David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett are defending the delay. Axelrod said:
[Obama's] 'view is that we ought to plow forward, make sure this can work, and we're going to look back at it [the delay], and it's going to be our proudest accomplishment'.
Jarrett wrote:
We have heard the concern that the reporting called for under the law about each worker's access to and enrollment in health insurance requires new data collection systems and coordination. So we plan to re-vamp and simplify the reporting process. [emphasis mine]
I guess it would be unreasonable to expect Sebelius and Axelrod and Jarrett to read, understand, and follow the US Constitution.

Why?
Good post, thanks!
This sounds more and more like Germany in the 1930’s, ya think? Liberal’s final solution, ya think?
Not only does he refuse to see that “the Laws be faithfully executed”, he has encourages others to violate law.
Unlike citing “prosecutorial discretion” which he claims justifies his refusal to enforce immigration law, he now proceeds to issuing decrees which he claims change the law.
Not only is the PPACA not being enforced, he is “changing the law” and encouraging businesses and government agencies - state and federal - to violate that law. He is using the bully pulpit to promote criminality.
His delay decrees are illegal and Congress ought to declare them irrelevant, of no force, and DEMAND that the law be enforced.
These decrees are a violation of law, his intimidation of businesses and government agencies, and encouraging others to violate law, are unacceptable. He is a scofflaw.
He must be impeached.
The Speaker ought to advise businesses and government agencies that they must comply with the law, not Executive coercion.
The Constitution is a living document, full of penumbras and emanations. Get with it.
Impeachment suggests that law is still a force in the land.
That is no given.
We have deemed that as an Indonesian and Kenyan,
your King does not need to follow your Constitution."
Barry is not an American so why should he be bound from some old Constitution thing.
Americans are such suckers!
Is this Warren Beatty the actor/ director speaking? Brother of Shirley Maclaine, that Warren Beatty? I recall being impressed by his directorial efforts in movies like Reds. Reds was not overly successful financially, but showed good writing and direction. I respect Mr. Beatty as a creative artist who is willing to work hard. I have a problem when people like Beatty who have acquired great personal wealth seem so ready to glom onto socialistic ideas of giving all control to the almight government. Many actors, like Sean Penn, himself, a highly paid actor for over twenty years, seems eager to make American into a big version of Cuba, or a smaller version of Mother Russia. Lots of social myopia amongst the theatre groups.
The CACA effectively, as the Secretary shall determine, overrules any pesky Constitution, as it’s a new Constitution. It’s open ended, and can mean whatever they want it to mean. No limits on the law means NO LIMITS, period.
You realize that only a racist would expect him to abide by the constitution........
Bound in chains, perhaps, but never has he been bound by the Constitution from day one.
The Constitution lists three requirements for any individual wishing to become president of the United States. The first one states a president must:
Be a natural born U.S. citizen. Someone may be born abroad, but only if both parents were citizens of the United States. The only exception to this was for those around at the time the Constitution was adopted. Their requirement was that they had to be a citizen when the Constitution was adopted.
His Indonesian citizenship can only be obtained by renouncing his American citizenship. His American citizenship can only be re-obtained at the age of 18 by enrolling in the selective service. His Selective Service records were proven to be fake.
Obama is simply ineligible and not a Constitutional President. He cannot be impeached. He can only be imprisoned. He and the Congress that enabled his usurpation of the country.
Why not?
