Barack Obama’s twice-repeated reminder “I have a pen and a telephone” to bypass Congress whenever he chooses

BO may or may not believe this, but that doesn't make it true.

An Executive Order is simply an order by which the president directs federal agencies how to implement existing law.

It is completely invalid insofar as it goes beyond existing law.

Now does this mean the President won't issue an illegal or unconstitutional Executive Order? Of course not! But such an order does not create new law. The constitutional provisions for reining in such orders is by means of Congress and the Courts. As with any other overstepping of presidential authority.

Both times he failed to mention his number one weapon to be used against the American people. His RACE CARD.

Do you really believe congress would do anything about Obama’s unconstitutional acts?

They’ve already proved to us this devil has free reign to do anything he wants without fear of retribution.
