He says: “I know that some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own, but that’s not how our system works.”
He really means: "Damnitall, I would be able to do everything I want if it were not for that stupid Constitution."
So, the natural lawless reaction would be to just pretend the Constitution did not exist.
The correct choice is the benevolent, loving, enlightened, brilliant, intellectual, Emporer of the United States every time!

GOP fairhaired boy Trey Gowdy was tasked by Bonehead back in May with heading an investigation into the Benghazi debacle, just one of the Obama administration’s many lawless, unconstitutional scandals.
Seven months later he’s finally fitting the matter into his crowded docket, and I suspect as the months go by and they begin to concentrate on making another Bush palatable to their conservative base, which gave them the Senate, actually seeking justice for Obama’s, Holder’s, Lerner’s and Clintons’ crimes will have less and less urgency for the GOP.
But we will continue to get first-rate ‘lip service’ from the GOP’s professional dilettantes, lip service like this article: the importance of the rule of law, the Constitution, blah blah blah, blah.
It reminds me of why banana republic dictators when deposed are almost always seen off at the airport with a good deal of their loot, instead of facing prison or being stood against a wall.
Why? Because the guys seeing them off know they could very well be on the next flight.
We’ll see what the new Congress does next month, in that we conservatives have been made by those who purport to represent us into eternal optimists.
I have lived sixty plus years since BROWN vs BOARD OF EDUCATION and through over 45 years of LBJ’s “War on Poverty”. the 1965 Civil Rights Act, the 1965 Voting rights Act and God only knows how many other “civil rights acts” since.
Now when I look back at the results, from electing a black dog catcher right through a black President, I am starting to wonder if maybe PLESSY vs FERGUSON was really such a bad decision.
Before you call me a racist S O B, please name me one successful black majority or black lead American city.
Okay, and how shall we go about that? What action can restore Article I Section 1 which Obama repealed on November 20th?
Being an optimist, I chose the Constitution ... being a realist, I see only Emperor Obama the First.
Why? Because way to many conservatives sit home in elections, and hand victory to the socialists lately. Conservatives seem incapable of thinking long term, apparently.
On November 4, 2008 the voters chose. It was not the rule of law under the Constitution. In 2014, they began reaping the fruits of their choice. May the harvest be plentiful and bitter.
Once there, even Article II means nothing to him anymore.

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board are the last people on earth with moral authority to criticize Obama for trying to create by executive decree their ideal immigration regime, after they pounded the table, in the "9/10" Good Old Days, for a constitutional amendment that would read, in the language of their own editorial, "There shall be open borders".
