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 I shall therefore continue to treat section 407, as originally enacted and as amended by S. 2195, as advisory in circumstances in which it would interfere with the exercise of this discretion."
Obama frequently criticized President George W. Bush for such signing statements during his 2008 campaign. “Congress's job is to pass legislation," he said, as The Daily Beast recalled. "The president can veto it or he can sign it.”(continued)

Where’s Harry Reid? He’s big on law breaking.
The only thing is his legacy. I think he’d love to be the UN leader. Were it not for his ego, I do think he’d get us all blown to kingdom come.
Lead by example? Follow by example. Ignore laws at your leisure states!
> true, but the thread is about signing a law he doesn’t
> intend to enforce against letting a goathumper/terrorist

Yes, I’m sorry to rathole the thread, except that there was a reply that seemed to imply that 0bummer should not expect Bundy to obey the law if Little Mussolini himself won’t obey it.
However, the laws that 0bummer refuses to obey were duly passed by Congress and are fully binding, while Clive Bundy refuses to comply with a silly and capricious “regulation”, subject to change without notice by a rogue agency run by a collective of Kim Jong Un wannabes.
The government’s response to Bundy’s refusal to comply with the caprice of the totalitarian BLM hive, was to send a heavily armed tactical squad to threaten the lives of the Bundy family, plunder their assets, and destroy their personal property.
Meanwhile, the Kim Jong Un in chief gets to flaunt the law with impunity.
Obama declares himself above the law he signs himself

I know.
A breathtaking exhibition of arrogance.

You’re absolutely correct. That statement alone should be grounds for impeachment.
Odumbo.....”issued a statement saying he won’t enforce it.”
Now will he any other of our laws he doesn’t agree with.
To me, DEFINITELY grounds for impeachment.
Now will somebody, anybody please get on with DOING IT?
The law is:
The traitor has needed to be impeached since late January, 2008.
Oops, 2009!
“...and to faithfully uphold the laws of the United States.” That was his vow to become President. Just saying he won’t enforce ANY law should be enough to impeach him, whether it is pot law, a traffic law or criminal law.
