As far as I am concerned, Obama has already gotten away with this, and more.
We need to face it. We are destined to be the new "North American Union" of the New World Order.
US News actually covered this point, but we are unable to publish US News articles - here's the summary from what the wrote:
The President has two tools he can use to implement laws 1) Executive Order (EO)- By Law signed, President must cite SPECIFIC law (language) that allows him to take EO action
2) Executive Memo (EM)- Does not require president to cite law but (big but) by law, the EM MUST be published in the Federal Register for (60? days) and allow for public comments before EM can go into effect. Even after public comment period, there can be years of appeals by public BEFORE EM can go into effect.
President had no 'legal standing' for the EO (he said so himself 20+ times) so he took the EM route but did not have the EM published in the Federal Register so he could avoid the comment period.
If he gets away with this, our Republic is toast ...

Considering the numerous violations he's gotten away with over the past 6 years, I'd say that we've been toast for quite a while. Probably irreversibly toast.
