It sunsets by default. Means that Obamas successor gets to renew it by EO, or has to go to Congress to make it permanent.

There’s no way, I think, that a Republican president goes the EO route. Even a Bush or a Christie (God forbid). If there’s a big enough backlash (as I think likely) I don’t see a President Hillary doing it either.

Going the Congressional route will require a 60 vote supermajority in the Senate. With Cruz, Lee, Sessions and now Ernest and the other pro-tea party Class of 2014ers I don’t see that as likely either.

Instead there’ll be the kind of paralytical infighting that has prevented both Obama and before him Bush from getting something through. Which is actually a good thing because the amnesty just expires by default without the ability to blame anyone for actively killing it.

You've been spot on twice on this thread. Hillary will be running away from this and Bambi-Care.
