Watch Obama Make the Case Against His Executive Amnesty
Free Beacon ^ | 11/13.14 | staff

Posted on 11/13/2014 1:06:14 PM PST by Nachum

President Obama irked Republicans and his past self this week by telling CBS he would bypass Congress and use executive action on illegal immigration, potentially ordering a 10-point amnesty plan as early as next week.

CNN reported that the move would likely include an expansion of deferred deportation for undocumented children to their families, and Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Obama is “nearing a final decision” on what to do. Speaker John Boehner’s (R., Ohio) office called the potential actions “executive amnesty.”

Obama could look back on statements from his first campaign and first term about what he can and can’t do as head of the Executive Branch.

“I take the Constitution very seriously,” he told a Pennsylvania town hall in 2008. “The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the Executive Branch and not go through Congress at all, and that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m President of the United States of America.”

Short of forcibly removing him from office, what recourse does the country have?

You know, if he doesn’t tell at least 3 lies a day, he worries that he might get rusty. It’s a lesson he learned from playing golf.

Let's cut to the chase. This has been in the plan since day one of his Presidency.

Only two EO's have every been overturned. One was Clinton's (Chamber of Commerce of the United States v. Reich)

The court ruled (in part) that the Clinton EO was unconstitutional because Clinton tried to re-write Labor Laws and not enforce labor laws.

Obama could be taken to court for the same reason, but he recently packed the 'DC Court of Appeals,' so it could be harder to reverse this action.

The recourse is impeachment whether or not the senate convicts.

Once he does this, the impeachment articles need to begin.

If not, there will no country left / the rule of law is mute.

Nachum :" It appears he is "Taking a Gruber"

Naw ! Gruber lied about the structure of ObolaCare, and called the voters (all Democrat legislators.. stupid)!
all four times (4X) "speaking off the cuff" in front of video cameras, where his statements were recorded.
Barry lies everytime his lips move !

Yes, but Clinton was impeached and he didn’t leave office. So what would it accomplish?

That was then and this is now. He was lying then so now he will act. Law be damned.

It becomes part of history. Clinton’s charm will pass on with him. His impeachment and disbarring is forever.

Wasn’t Clinton impeached,then served another 2 years?

Don’t impeach him. Give him a bill a day that will force rats to decide on their own political fates. Day 1. Close the border bill. 1 page in length.

That’s it. If he vetoes it and the rats don’t override, you have your campaign commercials for the next 2 years. Keep it simple so us stupid Americans can understand.

The only thing I would watch Obola do is swing from a lamp post.
