Executive orders are the means by which a President under existing law exercises his constitutional authority over the operation of the executive branch of the Federal government. The President, under existing law, has exclusive domain over the Foreign policy of the United States and broad discretion on implementing immigration policy.

In short, E.O.s are constitutional because they do not make law but merely implement existing law.

Yours is the best post on this thread.

In fact, it's the only one anyone really needs to read.

There should be no need for EO’s. Just follow the existing law. Only 18 EO’s were written by the first 6 Presidents. If they weren’t popular then, why the hell are they now? We can do without them and if both parties abide we will be far better off. We don’t like it when libs issue EO’s and obviously they don’t like it when we do. Just stop it and let Congress do their job.

As Commander-in-Chief the president automatically has total powers and that should be sufficient. Think about it, we can’t lock up a person BEFORE he commits a crime therefore assuming that immigrants will commit a crime is BS. There are laws on the books that determine who or how people can come into this country. It shouldn’t be by ANY presidential decree. The presidents that did this in the past (according to this Seattle judge) were wrong I guess, so let’s just stop it.

My suggestion is that Congress pass a law that halts any immigration for a few years until we get our house in financial order and look after our present population.
