Congress can also revoke a presidential executive order by passing a bill by a veto-proof (2/3 vote) majority.

Then Executive orders have the same effect as a Constitutional Amendment. Who knew the Founders put that loophole in the Constitution?

THEN WHY DO THE REST OF US?

Because they have Police and judges as wells armies to deal with you. Of course I guess you could organize your own.

“Executive amnesty” is a euphemism for a coup d’etat against We the People and the Constitution of the United States.

You’re welcome.

Another accurate name for it is treason.

“Daw Aung san Suu Kyi”

Born June 19th, 1945 in British Burma (now Myanmar) to her mother Khin Kyi and her father, the cherished General Aung San. An advocate of democracy and freedom, her father became a national hero in Burma. He was instrumental in establishing the Communist Party of Burma which brought about independence from nearly 124 years of British colonial rule. When Suu Kyi was two years old her father was assassinated and the country fell into a military dictatorship.

At least this gal doesn’t hide her Communist roots.

Yep. He's a narcissistic power hungry no good egotist. Thinks that he has the power to order Congress to act. We don't need no stinkin king. Too bad his term of office isn't over already.

I think he has many many loyalists in the military, and I guarantee you if ordered most would fire on American civilians.

Agree 100%. Those who think the military will all keep their oaths are deluding themselves.
