The administration has already taken the first step to accommodate President-election Trump’s positions, agreeing Friday to take a timeout on President Obama’s push to kick-start his 2014 deportation amnesty.

In documents filed with a federal judge in Texas the Justice Department said that in light of the new management that will take over next year, the case should be suspended.

“Accordingly, the parties respectfully submit that further proceedings on the merits of this case, including the submission of a schedule for resolving the merits, should be stayed until February 20, 2017,” the Justice Department and lawyers for Texas said in a joint request of Judge Andrew S. Hanen.

"Clearing the deck for the “BIG ILLEGAL PARDON”."

Geez, the usurper better not...he doesn't have the authority.

Although, that's not stopped him before.

Talk about a Constitutional crisis! It would be a double whammy!!

O knows that this battle will not be won in the Courts before inauguration day.

He’ll redouble his efforts to gum up the economy (a/k/a buttressing his legacy) through EPA regulatory actions in the weeks that remain.

Does obama have the authority to grant citizenship/legal status to a single person? Does obama have the authority to grant more than one person citizenship and/or legal status?

I would doubt he has the authority to grant citizenship to anyone however he doesn’t seem to worry about the rule of law.

The most powerful circuit is the DC Court. HE should go there.

OBama can only pardon crimes committed by citizens. If a person is not a citizen then he has not power under the constitution to pardon for the crimes nor to grant them citizenship.
