Obama Dares GOP: Go Ahead, ‘Have a Vote on Whether What I’m Doing Is Legal…I Will Veto’
MRC TV ^ | 2/26/15 | Craig Bannister

Pres. Obama is daring Republicans to vote on whether or not his executive actions are legal.

Discussing opposition to his executive amnesty orders at an immigration town hall Wednesday, Obama said he would veto the vote because his actions are “the right thing to do”:

“So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I’m doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I’m absolutely confident that what we’re doing is the right thing to do.”

Actually, he just officially declared himself dictator.

He made it clear that vote taken by congress are irrelevant to him and that he will do whatever he wants.

There is a remedy for lawlessness by a President and that is impeachment.

oh not a problem for him. The media will cover for him and not mention his arrogance. In the meantime he will push ahead with his dictatorship knowing he has half the Dem party on his side as well as the CNN,,NBC,CBS,ABC etc and he also knows most of the GOP are nothing but cowards for letting this happen.

Let them have their vote and I will veto it.

The arrogance of this idiot holds no bounds.

How does the head of the Executive Branch “veto that vote”, when “that vote” is something done by the Legislative Branch?

“On the part of America, there was not the most distant thought of subverting the government or of hurting the interest of the people of Great Britain, but of defending their own privileges from unjust encroachment; there was not the least desire of withdrawing their allegiance from the common sovereign [King George III] till it became absolutely necessary – and indeed, it was his own choice.” -—Rev. Dr. John Witherspoon (a signer of the Declaration of Idependence)

It is so infuriating to me that nobody in the opposition party will stand up and denounce this.

What has happened to these politicians, to this legislature, to this country?

I keep thinking that if it wasn’t for the ill-conceived 17th Amendment that Congress would have impeached and removed lawless Obama from office by now.
