Under the agreement, President Obama would issue an executive order to create an 18-member panel that would be granted broad authority to propose changes in the tax code and in the massive federal entitlement programs — including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
Oh yeah. Well think again Barry
- You have no such authority
- You can't do shiite to anything pertaining to Taxes
- EOs issued by any POTUS pertain only to the Executive Branch, any agencies under the executive Branch's control and how they are run (If you want to change the uniform of TSA workers to Green and Fuchsia knock your socks off).
- You CAN'T issue any EO that subverts or bypasses any Coequal Branch of government, like the US Congress. If you did, you could disband the Federal Courts and SCOTUS by an EO.
- Therefore, any EO resembling what's in the above article carries the authority of an essay written by Eric Cartman.
Here's a tip Barry. Your 'power' is not absolute as you're not a Tribal King in Kenya sitting on your throne in a loin cloth and holding a spear and shield. Then ruling by fiat which missionary gets put in the pot for dinner and which one dies by Ugga-Bugga.
