Obama's executive action power: Is Obama telling us that he has unlimited power to sign an executive order whenever he wants to? I'm no lawyer, so I'm very confused. Certainly, even Obam's executive order power has its limits.

1. Iraq and Syria refugees, in, say Turkey: How limited is Obama's power in signing any immigrant or refugee executive order?

2. For instance, does Obama technically have the legal power to sign an executive order tomorrow---just a few days after he signed his present illegal immigration executive order---where he grants temporary amnesty to 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 Iraqi and Syrian refugees, and nobody can do anything about it?

3. Africa refugees: Tomorrow, can Obama legally grant immediate amnesty to 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 Ebola refugees from Africa, and, again, nobody can do anything about it?

4. In summary, does Obama and his clever lawyers have us by the throat when it comes to Obama's claim that he has unlimited legal power to sign executive orders wherever and whenever he pleases, and nobody can stop him, not Congress, not the courts?

5. Pardon for 5,000,000 illegals: Just before Obama leaves office in two years, can Obama legally pardon 5,000,000 illegals with an executive order?

6. Has the use of unlimited executive order power intoxicated Obama so much that he has become completely mad? God help us.

I don't think a pardon would apply, because a pardon covers past crimes, not future crimes ... and the lawbreaking of an illegal immigrant is continuous for as long as they remain in the U.S.
