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.
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.
