Vanity-- Question: How is Obama Able to Force Syrian Refugees in Without Consent of Congress?

Posted on 10/06/2015 9:53:47 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

Is this some sort of presidential power?

Or was it run by congress and as usual they caved in cowardice?

Can anybody explain how this process is supposed to work?

That’s easy - who’s going to stop him?

Our eunuchs in Congress have preemptively surrendered to Obama.

They’ve said they will not shut down the government nor impeach him. What other powers do they have over him?

Report: Muslims Are the Fastest Growing Immigrant Community

https://www.google.com/search?q=muslims+fastest+growing+group+in+us&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Whatever Obama can do to make people feel uncomfortable, he does... It’s the same with illegals... new illegals make Hispanic Americans uncomfortable... so he encourages illegals.

It’s pit people against each other ... old fashioned meanness...

Classic Alinskyism. Divide-and-conquer politics. I suspect it will all end with a Battle Royale between Blacks and Hispanics to see who will wear the crown of #1 most oppressed and put-upon minority.

You can rein in a wild horse by cutting off the money...

Only Congress can spend money and the GOPe

controls both houses..

Kings don’t ask permission from the court jesters....

Especially when they would give him permission anyway.

So why ask?

the elephant in this living room, and the reason why the republicans do nothing to thwart the president’s ambition is that they want to be able to do the same thing, if not more when they take over. this isn’t about any particular issue, it is about the ability of the president to do his choosing...and each party covets that power. so neither is gonna check it

Hear Hear!
I’ve been saying that for a good long time.
They all have been corrupted, been so for a while I believe.
So have we I guess. Don’t believe me,,,, raise your voice and be heard.
Wait for a day, then find all of your dirty laundry revealed via MSM

Remember Joe the Plummer or any other regular person who spoke up/out against the Marxist in charge.

BECAUSE THIS MORON GOT ELECTED BECAUSE MILLIONS OF US STAYED HOME, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE! (And, yes, I’m SHOUTING!!)

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a BILL WHITTLE fan.  I just “rediscovered” a 2 year old YouTube video entitled “CANNIBALS”.
Everyone on this list probably knows that it’s not about flesh-eating savages (or the Donner Party) but spend 7 minutes with this keen observer of the American scene anyway!
He pinpoints the source of our current mess at the end of the section beginning around  4:20, nailing it down around 4:45!

Allow me to bore you for another minute or so to say this:  If YOU — or a loved one — are called before the so-called bar of justice by “the state” for some real, imagined or CONTRIVED “CRIME” (yes, Virginia, the feds even have a special “Create-a-Crime” division in the Department of Just Us for those it finds especially “troublesome”), do you want them to have to defend yourself before a jury NOT of your peers, but one composed of pre-selected liberal, “progressive” government employees who come to the process already disposed to believe you to be an “enemy of the state” and, more important to them, a THREAT TO THEIR JOBS AND VAUNTED POSITION AS YOUR OVERLORD!  Wouldn’t it be helpful for the juror pool to contain at least SOME folks who can identify with the defendant?  If you aren’t registered to vote, they will be MIA!

The Founders left us four — count ‘em — FOUR “Boxes” with which, if we have the brains to use them, we were to preserve our freedoms:
1.  The SOAP BOX;
2.  The BALLOT BOX;
3.  The JURY BOX;
and, if those fail us — or are DENIED US — the last one
4.  The CARTRIDGE BOX!
Join me in praying that we can halt our slide toward tyranny BEFORE we must resort to the last one.  Because we are no longer the people we were then, I fear another “situation” such as that we experienced in 1776 will not have as sanguine an outcome.

PS: With the massive VOTER FRAUD being perpetrated by the left, staying home is NOT AN OPTION!!

Congress would fund it.

That is all.

How does he do anything without the consent of Congress?
Because Obama.

Have you seen any Congressional approval or oversight regarding the proxy war with Russia in Syria that obama is ordering our military into?
