I don't believe that you are intellectually qualified to make such a judgment. It's easy for you to call the hypotheticals' from your armchair, but most of us don't' see that as a credible assessment on your part.
By the rules of Congress, the President has done nothing that is in violation of his duties. In fact, on the contrary, he has gone well beyond what is required of him in every way, to uphold his oath and execute his duties.
He is not popular for his courage to do what is necessary, but that is something to be admired in the Man, not vilified.

There's nothing hypothetical about Bush's refusal to enforce border sovereignty and immigration laws, among a whole host of other laws that are associated with this issue (massive social security fraud and identity theft, to name a couple of them).
BTW, you are making a fatal assumption that "most of us" agree with you. The outrage about Bush's open borders policies is palpable and undeniable. If not for the WOT, Bush would be in BIG trouble, and would likely have lost the 2004 election.
POTUS is responsible first to the constitution, not congress. He very clearly is ignoring article 4 section 4, and that IS dereliction of duty.
While I admire Bush's courage and tenacity in the WOT, he will not get a pass from me on the illegal immigration issue. POTUS is not supposed to pick and choose which parts of the constitution to enforce.
