Not factual.
Congress can stop the POTUS cold. They just have to have the cajones to do it.

Even with only the House, they could act by shutting off the money spigot. Without moolah, the WhiteyHut is dead in the water. Even the Chinese won’t give him money when its likely he will be removed and the next “Constitutional” government unlikely to pay his illegal bills.

If he still tried to go around, the next stop is SCOTUS. If he gave Congress and the Court the bird, then either WE rise up or the US Military forces him to obey the Constitution.

They will not oppose him because he’s black.
That’s factual.

I’d take slow Joe for the duration. If his boss was impeached he would not exactly be a position to do too much more damage and the rats would be looking really really bad at that point.

Then it is OUR responsibility to replace those that won’t with those that will come November.

Can Obama’s Legal End-Run Around Congress Be Stopped?

Of course it can - but it won't be.

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. Some old Chinese dude said that.

The root of our worsening crisis is that Congress, beginning in the early 20th century, has abdicated its powers, one by one and now in an accelerating fashion. Those powers are OURS, and WE delegated them (ALL legislative powers herein granted) to a Congress which is now comprised of whoremasters, drunkards, and filth of every stripe.

Why have they abdicated? Why have they given away what does not belong to them to begin with?

That's simple. To legislate is to choose. When you choose, you piss somebody off. That somebody then can become obsessed with removing you from office in a competitive election, and if these people, who magically become multimillionaires on a $174 000 salary could be removed by plebians, THEN where the hell would we be?
