Congresss two top tax chairmen warned President Obama on Wednesday not to claim unilateral executive powers to raise taxes on his own, saying it violates the Constitution and ruins chances for a lasting deal.
Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said they were troubled by White Houses announcement earlier this month that Mr. Obama is very interested in exploring what options he has to raise taxes without going through Congress.
This would be a mistake, both constitutionally and politically, the two lawmakers said, adding that if the president pressed ahead, it would make it much tougher for him to reach a deal with Congress on simplifying the tax code and permanently eliminating tax breaks.

Yeh like they will do anything about it. This bunch of weak spined quislings wouldn’t lift a finger if Obutt declared martial law and took over. Oh wait he already took over. Nevermind.
Hey he got away with immigration so what’s the beef now? Face it following the USC is now voluntary.
Sorry Boehner, the well has been poisoned already.
The Republicans will be angry right up until the moment they surrender.

if there is no law, there is no law
Lemme guess what the excuse will be for allowing yet another unconstitutional power grab - “but we don’t have the White House...”.
....” ObaMao is gonna do it anyway”...
Yep...he’s itching for a win and is going to forge on regardless of any push back....Bo’s not listening because he doesn’t have to.
.....”No way to stop this dictator King Obama. No real fighting Americans left, just lots of talk. Useless!”....
Stunning that none have done more than ‘talk’ when they have the power to do so otherwise. But then it certainly appears Congress isn’t American after all....at another time this man would never had lasted his first 6 months!
There’s too many foreign interests and parties as well as peoples in our country now who do not have THIS countries interests in mind.......only what they can glean from US.
Hey O'Bastard watch out congress may fart in your general direction.
McConnell and Boehner might, however, withhold objections, should the President continue to send them new skirts, dresses and handbags.
I’m only surprised that Obola has not simply abolished the SCOTUS and Congress as no longer needed. If he did, I don’t see anyone even trying to stop him - especially the homo military commanders that have been installed.
bump!
He knows they will do nothing.
Obama’s threat to increase taxes via EO is not intended to raise taxes. Heck, he’s got the FCC set up to do that through Net Neutrality.
His threat to increase taxes via EO is intended to spur conservatives to protest in the streets, which will be perverted into violence, giving Obama the reason to declare martial law, and take over the nation and become dictator for life.
Perhaps after O explicitly declares himself a dictator, folks will realize that he’s a tad psychotic.
Or else what???
