Talk will not work, Boehner , you actually have to do something.

Congress needs to stop Obama’s abuse of power, without warning and with great haste.

If Congress believes the laws and the constitution will not allow them to put a stop to this nonsense, then THEY need to tell the American people that they are powerless in dealing with Obama’s reckless and deliberate disregard of our country’s constitution. Congress needs to tell the American people that we must simply stand quietly and watch Obama and his democrats destroy our country.

No talk... just do.

Article II, Section 1, US Constitution.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

These are probably pertinent words behind the "Executive Power" practiced by modern Presidents.

Please note, however, that the word executive isn't capitalized in the Constitution.

Might this be a factor justifying either Impeachment or taking the matter to the Supreme Court?

There’s nothing “laughable” about it. O’bastard should be doing time in the penitentiary.

“If Congress won’t act, I will,” says Obama, why can’t he then say, “If the Supreme Court won’t act, I will” when the Court won’t take a case he wants ajudicated?

Just askin’...

Boehner wwill be as vicious as a Chihuahua and his bite in doing anything to stop it will be much the same as a Chihuahua. The GOP needs leaders with a temper who are mad enough and man enough to act.

Continuing with my post 22 comments, there's more to be considered in the US Constitution.

Article II, Section 3 states:

He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient ...

Given those words, the use of Presidential "Executive Orders" to circumvent Congress - is probably unconstitutional.

Somebody ask Obama:

How many legs does a cow have?

Now, if you call it’s tail a leg, how many legs does it have?

NO! You fool! It still only has 4 legs!
Just because you call that POS proposal you’re dragging around a “jobs bill” DOESN’T MAKE IT ONE!

Appologies to Lincoln (variation of his story)

You are sadly correct about the current attitude of the GOP being in Congress is more like being in a country club & the results are now showing up as being absolutely appalling.
