‘duplication the stalled legislation by executive action’? If that isn't an admission of usurping of power, I don’’t know what else is.

The question was: What do you believe are your limits so you can continue to act as president, not as emperor or king?

Reporter: "Have you been advised by your legal advisor what your limits are?"

bobobo: "Yes"

Reporter: "Would you tell us what those are?"

bobob: "No"

The dripping of arrogance and condescension has become a flood. Get your waders on.

I applaud the Chinese questioner.

Why?

Because, in the Oriental method, the statement within the question, tells the one answering where they really stand.

Question rephrased: “You are aware, that, under U.S. laws, you are an elected, with a term limit, President, and not a king or sovereign, ARE YOU NOT?”

In the years I spent in Southeast Asia, the discussions that I had with Chinese vendors about Nixon coming to China, were very fruitful. They looked upon our system of electing Presidents, as a baby nation, and still attempting to define our roots, until we have decided that we should have -a- leader for life, as they have had, over the millenia.

The last question tells it all.

Q: have you received your advice from the Attorney General about your legal limits and what you can do?

A: Yes

Q: will you tell what those are ?

A: No

“Gee the USA is a banana Republic with a tin horn dictator, right out in the open.”

You know why? Because congress is a bunch of spineless cowards -or- They are in on it.
Either way it’s their inaction that IS enabling it.

Been my experience that grifters, thieves, and bullies are after whatever you have. They'll take whatever they think they can get away with. If nobody stops them they'll come back for more, until they are caught or there's nothing left.

For a reporter to ask such a question is foolish. Did he think he would get the truth?

A president can have nearly unlimited power, given the right circumstances - are there any checks and balances on him when martial law is declared?

A president can be voted out of office, a king/emperor must be forced out. That's what popped into my mind when I read the story, I bet Obama was thinking the same.

At a press conference in southeast Asia, Obama was asked if he had been informed by the US-DOJ about the legal authority of his proposed actions. Obama said he had been informed, and when asked if he would share that info, he said NO.

Obama's very disturbed---maybe deranged. We are all in danger every minute this seething mass of hatred holds onto power. He was decisively trounced and rejected at midterms. Now he's paranoid----frantic to do something---anything--- to feed his monumental ego.

Keep in mind, the eternal quest of the self-hating liberal---to "feel good" about oneself.

=================================================

Congress better understand that the very future of our republic is at stake here---Obama's amnesty is intended to precipitate the overthrow of the US govt.

================================================

FREEPER IOWA CORNMAN POSTED: I suggest we start raising hell with our representatives that we want no funding of any of this......We need injunctive relief immediately in the federal courts to enjoin any federal agency from implementing this unconstitutional madness.

==================================================

Capitol switchboard...1-866-220-0044.
Call or write your legislator ASAP.

MESSAGE: tell Congress that your midterm vote was specific---a demand that they fight tooth and nail---using both tooth and nail----to demolish the Obama/Reid amnesty plan to force American taxpayers to subsidize the expansion of the Democrat party w/ foreign voters.

AMERICANS HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT: Americans demand the Republican leadership tell Obama: "If the president unilaterally moves to augment the power of the Executive Branch in an unprecedented and unconstitutional manner via E/O'ing amnesty, then the Legislative Branch will need to increase its powers in order to maintain the balance of powers called for in the US Constitution.

FREEPER EDWIN LAND INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: The Senate can do this in an unprecedented but completely constitutional manner, by providing that the filibuster rule is suspended completely until such time as the president withdraws his executive aggrandizement.

RATIONALE--Obama's temporary amnesty E/O requires temporary suspension of the rule. That should also include Congress passing laws without the president signing the bill.

If it is okay for the president to overreach, then it is okay for Congress to overreach. Obama forgets that the Congress---and Americans---can also say, “We have been patient.”

================================================

THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL----STOP OBAMA IN HIS TRACKS :

(1) Fund every penny that is budgeted now.....except defund all DHS, ICE, HHS and USCIS' rubber-stamp activities. Defund anything and everything that directly and indirectly deals with amnesty: work permits, green cards for illegals, gravy train subsidies, re-situating unaccompanied minors w/ families. Then let Obama defend his amnesty E/O or take the blame for the entire shutdown himself.

(2) As a further warning----no votes on ANY Obama nominees until Jan 20, 2017. No judges, No Attorney General, no sub-cabinet secretaries. NOTHING----thanks to the SCOTUS ruling, Obama could not recess-appoint ANYONE, if the House declares the Congress is always in session.

================================================

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-ALA), has set up an active war room dedicated to undermining Obama's plans on immigration, and is next in line to chair the Budget Committee. From that perch, he would have the power to set spending parameters that undermine the president's moves.
