I am sorry your Honor but I waved that law for myself so none of these proceedings apply to me. I also dismiss this case by order of me!

I hereby set myself free!,
Signed Me!

That’s free advice next time the law claims you did something somewhere, sometime, to someone.

After all if its good for thee its good for me.

Where the FUCK is congress????????????

The same place they've always been.

Pontificating and "blowing to the galleries" but NOT doing anything substantive for fear they'll be labeled RACIST for attacking Obozo.

It would seem that the President is violating the Constitutional prohibition about providing aid and comfort to an enemy in time of war so his waiver is unconstitutional.

Not that anyone in Congress cares to call him on it.

The President is Commander in Chief of the military and therefore subject to military justice.

At what point does the military step in as and treat the President as a rouge military commander?

Remember what happened when Reagan skirted the Boland Amendment? Iran-Contra, et cetera.
