NDAA was passed by the Tea Party in Congress NDAA gives the president the right to kill or sequester, to disappear, any citizen anywhere without warrant or notice. The president has issued EOs claiming total power and the Congress has not made a peep in protest about it. Congress and the Court HAVE ACCEPTED IT. The president declines to enforce laws he doesn't like and invents laws he likes. Some congressmen say that they disagree with the particular aims of those Executive laws but no one has protested or opposed at all the president's "right" to make or change laws thus the President has become the Chief Legislator and Congress is de facto irrelevant. The president has total power de facto and after another election happens without Congress or the Court moving to dismantle that Total Power, it becomes de jure or at least de hugo(Chavez) and the Constitution becomes merely quaint.

If Obama should lose the election even with massive the inevitable vote fraud and recounting he can declare it fraudulent and order it rerun should he choose to do so. The Congress and the Court, given very recent acceptance of presidential usurpation, with Obama's man Roberts the swing vote in the Court, will accept that. He would then insure that the vote goes the "right" way.

At this point the only power that seems to remain to Congress is the power of the purse but with much of the provision in the Affordable Health Care law that begins to go away, too. Various entities are given the power by that law to appropriate money.

And if Obă does accept an election loss and steps down then Romney will have the Total Power and will not give it up. Indeed, he cannot give it up, he can only decline to use them. Once Congress has given it away it is given away, it is not lent.
