NOW HEAR THIS!!

I finally was able to reach someone I know at my senator's office.. he told me that BUSH INTENDS TO PUT THE IMMIGRATION FIASCO THROUGH AS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER!!!

This is a total abuse of power IMO!

EOs are enforceable as law unless they are overturned by Congress or the courts.

Because the Constitution's definition of presidential authority is vague, the rules about what can be included in an executive order are unclear. A 1950s Supreme Court decision overturning a Harry Truman executive order offers the sharpest guide to what constitutes a legitimate executive order. The court invalidated the Truman order on the grounds that it attempted to make law. The court further ruled that an executive order is valid only when the president is acting pursuant to an act of Congress or to the Constitution itself. As a result, presidential orders frequently identify the statutes they are relying on.

So what statutes will GWB's amnesty for ILLEGALS rely upon?

[dagnabbit]

EO-ing Amnesty should be grounds for impeachment.

Proof please.

Thanks for the ping.

Bush taking the executive order route is he?

He is walking down the middle of a mine field.

[JustPiper]

If Bush pulls this out as an ex-order he will be just as sneaky and abusing his power as clinton

[texastoo]

This makes me literally sick.

I really hope that's not true --- pretty scary if it is. Then we'd have to question what Fox has on Bush.

[Bikers4Bush]

Well now that's interesting. If he does it he will finally be admitting that he could care less what we want.
