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.
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.

********
On one level he did get the truth - Obama would not tell about the advice he received from the DOJ regarding the legality of the executive action coming soon.

Perhaps planting the thought that Obama will continue to “rule” America. Good catch!
The reporter asked the right question. He put Obama on record as not answering the question.
Of course he didn't.
But he accomplished his aim: get O'bammer, in his own words, demonstrating his 'king-ship' rights belief...
