Cool...I hope eveyone realizes that the "Prez" consulted multiple government attorneys for full legal opinions and consulted congress before taking action...
This wasn't done in a vacuum nor without the legislative branch's buy-in....
This was legal and within his (the Prez's) authority, I just wasn't sure of the poster's quoted federal law as the basis.....
