Obama: If Congress Blocks My Iran Deal, I’ll Ignore The Law & Do It Anyway

How very fascist. So, Obama is saying that if Congress doesn’t play ball on approving the Iran deal, he might just go ahead and do it anyway. That violates the Constitution and the law. Technically he can’t do it – oh, but he will. Notice how Kerry sidestepped the issue? If Obama does this and isn’t made to answer for it or stopped, that’s the end of our Constitutional Republic and the actual beginning of a dictatorship. Even if a conservative is elected in 2016, by then $150 to 200 billion will have gone to Iran, effectively arming our enemies for our destruction. This president has gone rogue and we must reign him in – legally and physically if need be.

FROM THE BLAZE:

"Following a White House meeting, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) seemingly suggested this week that President Barack Obama might be prepared to go “beyond what’s allowed by law” to push through the Iran nuclear deal.

The Hill reported Wednesday that Sherman said Obama appeared ready to ignore Congress if members don’t sign off on the deal. The comments came after the president invited top Democrats to the White House to give them a personal presentation on the Iran deal.

“The main meat of what he said is, ‘If Congress overrides my veto, you do not get a U.S. foreign policy that reflects that vote. What you get is you pass this law and I, as president, will do everything possible to go in the other direction,’” Sherman said, according to The Hill.

“He’s with the deal — he’s not with Congress,” the California congressman added. “At least to the fullest extent allowed by law, and possibly beyond what’s allowed by law.”

According to The Hill, Sherman suggested Obama may just refuse to enforce the law.

Sherman, who has appeared skeptical of the deal, previously grilled Secretary of State John Kerry about whether the administration would follow the “law” if Congress moved to override a veto to block the deal.

At the time, Kerry ducked the question, saying he was “not going to deal with a hypothetical.”

When you eliminate impeachment as a possibility and both sides of the political aisle are complicit in a Marxist agenda, you get this type of behavior. Obama is a narcissist with delusions of grandeur and a pen and a phone. Of course he won’t obey the law… he’ll flaunt it whenever he can get away with it. If leaders won’t go along with him, he’ll blackmail them or use leverage of some sort against them to get these so-called leaders to see things his way. This type of bowing before our enemies such as Iran, Russia and China will get millions of Americans killed. Obama knows and doesn’t care. This is treason you are watching unfold in the Oval Office.

That’s all the bass turd has done since moving into the Rainbow Palace. Ignoring the law? That’s not new for him.

Boehner and McConnell will bend over and like it!

If a Republican would have tried 1/10th of what Obama did, then he would be already removed from office.

When is some adult in the US Congress going to step up and ground this 14 year old snot?

We are talking about long reaching nuclear weapons policy for containing “death to America” Neanderthals , not his personal decision

Mitch McConnell please get a spine transplant

Impeach.

That's the proper response. But even if the House did impeach Obama (majority vote needed), the Senate would not vote to convict (2/3 vote needed).

But there is another way to stop Obama! If Obama tries to implement the treaty on his own, the House should refuse to fund ANY of Obama's pet projects.

Does Boehner have the courage to go that route, and fight fire with fire? I doubt it. It's so much easier for the GOPe to surrender. That way the New York Times won't be mean to them.

From Obama’s perspective, why not stay? The pathetic congress has shown no willingness to stop him on anything. And he simply ignores the courts. The military has been neutered by his purges of senior officers. The media will back him no matter what. In short, all the stars are aligned in his favor. All he needs now is a pretense to justify a “temporary” extension of his term.

Yeah-—that is a scary possibility...... if anyone but Trump were elected.

One can only ponder w/ glee guess what Donald will do to dislodge the Obama bum family.

Good post on all points. The House should cut funding, but the “leadership” is fearful of doing that. It takes the easy way out and caves to everything Obama wants. He couldn’t do better if the Dems controlled the congress.

For a long time I have believed that this President wants to be IMPEACHED. There is no other explanation for his action and comments. I just don’t know why he is pushing so hard. What does he gain if he is impeached?

This is why Boehner & McConnell always surrender to Obama. They know he wants to nuke the Constitution and they would be forced to impeach him if he did. They don’t want that fight obviously.

He wants a major Constitutional crisis because he knows the GOP will never impeach the “first black POTUS”. Obama intends to “fundamentally transform the US” by creating the template for future authoritarian leftists to rule the US in a post-Constitutional era.

Yes indeed, it is national survival we are talking about. But what is Mitch McConnell thinking about, his personal fortune? His relationships on K St.? His handlers advice that the people want cooperation? All the conservative world asks, what does Mitch McConnell want? Do the national interests of America fit in anywhere?

You are next, John Boehner, how is your moral balance sheet?
