No, not that Executive Order - not the one he never signed about immigration.
No, in this one he declares a day off for the Feds the day after Christmas.
By his authority he orders all departments and agencies of the Federal Government closed the day after Christmas.
For those wondering about the immigration Executive Order, it never happened. He signed two Presidential Memoranda that day, Nov. 21, in Las Vegas. Not an EO.
You can read all his Memoranda at the White House Presidential Memoranda page.
And all the Executive Orders are at the Executive Order page.
These Memoranda seem pretty tame. So what is the big deal?
The big deal is here, found on the Homeland Security page. Jeh Johnson is putting forth directives, they are actually dated Nov. 20, 2014 which was the day before Obama signed his Memos.
Here is the page with the actual dirty details:
This is how they introduce what is happening:
The President asked Secretary Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to undertake a rigorous and inclusive review to inform recommendations on reforming our broken immigration system through executive action. This review sought the advice and input from the men and women charged with implementing the policies, as well as the ideas of a broad range of stakeholders and Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle. Our assessment identified the following ten areas where we, within the confines of the law, could take action to increase border security, focus enforcement resources, and ensure accountability in our immigration system.
They call this "Executive Action", which leads to the mistaken impression that Obama signed an Executive Order.
There are ten Executive Actions described and 12 associated memoranda from Jeh Johnson, each signed on Nov. 20, 2014.
They call it "Fixing Our Broken Immigration System Through Executive Action".
It is hard to know just exactly what is happening in the mixed-up world of incompetent and agenda driven media and devious political machinations.
I hope this helps people know what they are doing and how so it can be discussed and addressed in the proper context.
“Executive Action”
This EA is just treason.
And the GOP should be simultaniously signing his impeachement papers.
He is either trying to sucker the Republicans to pass the bill he is demanding so they can once again be sure to get blamed for it. Or Obummer's cronies will enact his edicts without an executive order. Don't tell me they can't this administration regularly ignores the rule of law. We didn't need an executive order for the IRS to target the Tea Party. He may just be delusional enough that he think if he says something that reality is changed by his mere decree.
“CRIPES” a government shut down ordered by Barak.
I’m posting these links because the actual actions are there and any arguments made will be based on these memoranda.
These are what to study to know what and how to address this surgically.
It’s been obfuscated so much it is hard to know what to address specifically.
I posted above the DHS memoranda.
But are there Justice Department Memorada done on Obama’s orders as well? Or other Departments?
It’s spread all over.
“CRIPES” a government shut down ordered by Barak.
That is hilarious and actually 100% accurate.
If I was as clever as you I would have made that the title of the post.
Obama can't just say 'cut a check'. It requires funding and a proper charge to the right bucket.
Beancounters will get you every time.

Didn’t Dubya do the same thing? I don’t think it’s unusual to give federal employees the day after Christmas off if it falls on a Friday.
He doesn’t even celebrate Christmas, does he?
“By his authority he orders all departments and agencies of the Federal Government closed the day after Christmas. “
Obama can shut down the government by Executive order.... but the Pants Wetting GOPe are worried they are going to get the blame.....
Yes!
IMPEACH
Are you kidding? Obama celebrates 365 days a year!
I said before, that EO was nothing but a rope-a-dope to the Rino’s hoping to get them to do something even more stupid than they had planned.
Christmas is a Thursday. By declaring “Boxing Day” (as it is known in Canukistan) a Federal Holiday there is a four day weekend.
Look at it as an energy conservation measure. /s
Obama is such a liar that he lies about his lies.
The government “workers” always get these close-to-holidays days off with pay. Why are they paid? They aren’t there. Corruption.
I bet the real reason he’s doing it is because it’s the first day of Kwanzaa!
