And by what authority is the President able to alter the rule of law?
The writer, like the President, thinks the law is whatever Obama says it is.
There is no legal authority, but he is doing it, anyway and his minions and supporters are screaming at him to go fill-blown dictator, ASAP.
De facto, the law is whatever the Dictator decrees just because the inculcated, the low-information and the cronies at both ends of the economic spectrum demand it. IOW, we now have the very *democracy* the Republic aimed to thwart. We have also lost the truly democratic voting system of “one man/one vote”, as the bots vote as many times as possible and even non-citizens vote without repercussions.
