Obama signs Ted Cruz bill into law, but says he won´t enforce it
washington examiner ^ | 4/18/14 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 04/18/2014 4:35:04 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama on Friday signed into law a bill authored by Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz that would bar an Iranian diplomat from entering the United States, but immediately issued a statement saying he won't enforce it.

Obama decided to treat the law as mere advice. "Acts of espionage and terrorism against the United States and our allies are unquestionably problems of the utmost gravity, and I share the Congress's concern that individuals who have engaged in such activity may use the cover of diplomacy to gain access to our Nation," Obama said in his signing statement.

"Nevertheless, as President [George H.W.] Bush also observed, "curtailing by statute my constitutional discretion to receive or reject ambassadors is neither a permissible nor a practical solution." I shall therefore continue to treat section 407, as originally enacted and as amended by S. 2195, as advisory in circumstances in which it would interfere with the exercise of this discretion."

It’s time to hang Barry by his empty nut sack in the White Hut rose garden. Tomorrow during the huevos hunt would be a good time to do it.

so... he’s effectively created an equal and opposite law to nullify the actual law

my guess is, there is some provision buried in the bill they wanted to push thru ... and just ignored the main point

he should be impeached Immediately for failure to uphold the laws of the land... a duty he was sworn in to do

I like the way he throws Bush’s name in there. I thought he did not like anything Bush did so why then rinse and repeat?

” - - - immediately issued a statement saying he won’t enforce it. - - - “

But, but, but Feudal Lord Reid said just a few days back “- - - It’s not over. We can’t have an American break the Law and get away with it. - - - “

Oops, momentary Halfheimers: Obama has a loophole, as he is not an American.

The mouth of Jarette and enablers like Soros are the filter for the laws of the USA.

Someone needs to tell Dingy Harry that the “president” ain’t following the law - that makes him a domestic terrorist.

Why am I being MANDATED to get my prescriptions from a place that is NOT trust-able? Just because hubby is over 65 Retired SCPO on Tricare Life and Medicare for both of us. Mandate went into effect 4/14/2014.

I am not guaranteed I will receive my DISPENSE as written Name bran Synthroid, they will use what generic they have available. I react to the generics, and they don’t work as well as Name Brand. Even If I use the Dispensary at the small Naval Base round trip 30 miles. 3 hr wait. Not handicap friendly either.

Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah...

"He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."
