Does the Constitution apply to the President? Because I’m sure if Obama knew that he’d have complied. I’m pretty sure that when he took the oath of office swearing to uphold and faithfully execute the Constitution he thought it was only precatory.

So can the Regime take this to the SCOTUS so that Holder can whip out the Roberts with Goats pictures and make this all go away?

Finally someone has called him out on something.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it does it matter?

That's what we have here. NOTHING will happen to this usurper. NOTHING!

“...THE ONE declares that in the interests of the People, he must become our President for Life.”

I am truly concerned he would try this; with a lot of sheeple demanding it...

-- IIRC it was Democrats that pioneered the trick to prevent a President, which one I don't recall, nor who it was they were trying to prevent from being appointed. --

The younger Bush, and it was to prevent recess appointments of judges.

This ruling goes beyond the appointment during pro forma sessions (a senatorial sham, IMO, to pretend they are "at work" when they aren't, and don't intend to be), by holding that a recess starts when the senate adjourns sine die (it does that exactly one time per year), and ends when the next session is gaveled to order. This ruling also holds that in order for a recess appointment to be valid, the vacancy has to happen, occur, start, begin, during that interval when the senate is in recess.

This ruling, applied to Bush recess appointments, would find them unconstitutional, too.
