President Obama rejected the idea that his executive action on immigration sets a precedent for future presidents to enact their preferred policies without Congress, at least if the policy were tax reform.
George Stephanopoulos asked Obama in an interview airing on This Week about an analogy that many of the president’s critics have drawn: “How do you respond to the argument, a future president comes in, wants lower taxes. Doesn’t happen. Congress won’t do it — he says I’m not going to prosecute those who don’t pay capital gains tax.”
Obama didn’t respond to the question and continued with his talking points, prompting Stephanopoulos to press him again: “So you don’t think it’d be legitimate for a future president to make that argument?
“With respect to taxes? Absolutely not,” the president replied.
98% of DC politicians only care about staying in DC.
Only the ruthless action of a real Right Wing POTUS DC outsider will affect any true change, the marxist degenerate liar in office now is an example of this phenomena.

“(3) NOTICE TO CONGRESS BEFORE IMPLEMENTING CHANGES.—

“(i) 60 days,
“(ii) one year, in the case of a major change described in subparagraph (D)(iii), or
“(iii) two years, in the case of a major change described in clause (i) or (ii) of subparagraph (D), before the date of implementation of the change, the President has prepared and transmitted to the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate a written report setting forth the proposed change. If the President proposes to make any change regarding social security account number cards, the President shall transmit to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives and to the Committee on Finance of the Senate a written report setting forth the proposed change. The President promptly shall cause to have printed in the Federal Register the substance of any major change (described in subparagraph (D)) proposed and reported to Congress.

> Next EO by a future President: If you do not PAY taxes, you don’t vote. No more leaching welfare voters perpetually voting themselves raises!
But if they do that a libtard president will never get elected again and that wouldn’t be fair....j/k I wanted to see what it felt like to be a spineless progressive retard for a sec...: )
Can you say “Presidente For Life”
you are right. He is not leaving.
People like Gruber will come up with something.
The dude is on crack.
0bama = liar, hypocrite, phony, Gruber, assclown, narcissist,...
Of course not! Obola has a special dispensation from the moon god./S
What are you talking about? They will no longer be illegal.
Deferred deportation doesn't make the illegal legal.
Just as not arresting the lawbreaker doesn't make them innocent.
When the next President removes the deportation deferment, the illegals are just as guilty as they've always been -- and they become subject to deportation.
Hah. That’s what I get for not knowing Obambi announced he is going to do. I didn’t want to become angry, so I ignored his speech and all articles detailing it. He is essentially kicking the can?
In a manner of speaking. He promised another group of illegals "deferred deportation". And the privilege of coming forward to "register" and thus, become subject to paying taxes.
There has been no mention of a.) work permits, b.) SS #s, c.) driver's licenses or d.) a "pathway to citizenship".
The promised "Executive Order" turned out to be a couple of memos (posted on the White House site) which qualify as "Executive Actions"(not "Orders") and essentially instruct the various agencies to continue as before.
All that he has done so far is abuse his "prosecutorial discretion" authority -- which he has gotten away with previously and he can argue is subject to his best judgment.
Moreover, he hasn't done anything that the Congress can defund. Not deporting people is a no cost venture.
And, for all intents and purposes, the illegals have been given no incentive to come forward. And his actions to date are readily reversible by the next President.
How about if a President Palin, President Santorum (and others) used Executive Order to end abortion.
Cause there won’t be any future presidents - Obola’s daughters will be empresses.
How about abortion?
Republicans have given democrat YEARS AND YEARS to outlaw abortion...
A Republican President will step in and TELL democrats he’s tired of waiting for them to do what’s right. Then he can give a speech about some poor little girl who felt so much guilt about an abortion she killed herself. Maybe a few more sob stories that might or might not apply... and with a stroke of a pen - we bypass Congress.
I’m sure those little suck-up liberal elites and their journalist pals would quietly accept it... right?
‘Obama: ‘Absolutely Not’ Legitimate for Future Presidents to Apply My Logic on Executive Actions’...............
ITS ALL ABOUT ME. What a fascist psychopomp. Out, out, damn spot!
