Obama Dares GOP: Go Ahead, ‘Have a Vote on Whether What I’m Doing Is Legal…I Will Veto’
MRC TV ^ | 2/26/15 | Craig Bannister

Pres. Obama is daring Republicans to vote on whether or not his executive actions are legal.

Discussing opposition to his executive amnesty orders at an immigration town hall Wednesday, Obama said he would veto the vote because his actions are “the right thing to do”:

“So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I’m doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I’m absolutely confident that what we’re doing is the right thing to do.”

“”I will veto that vote””

OK folks! This seals our position that he is totally, absolutely, positively 100% NUTS as if we needed any other proof. Veto a vote that is nothing more than a consensus among congress critters? He’s not too smart, is he?

Obama is lawless because he is allowed to be lawless. While I blame Obama I hold as much detail for the Congress that allows this farce to continue. Not only do they not impeach they hardly even whimper about it.

I love how we just sit back and moan about it, but we’re not, nor will we, do a damn thing. And by the time we wake up and realize it, it’ll be too late. Get ready for them boxcars, folks! It’s coming, and we’re too damn selfish to stop any of it.

Well, you point out a good loophole. If the President is incapacitated, there is a procedure for removing him. I think his way of thinking is a kind of insanity (extreme narcissism, coupled with communist and revenge fantasies) and would be grounds for removal. But then we’d get Biden and have to do it again. But then, Boehner....oh never mind.

How much of this would have been going on if stands were made early on? Like a parent who doesn’t discipline a child at the first sign of a problem...

I’m convinced that we must have a military coup. Then, Nuremberg style trials. Then, restore the constitution.

My take is that nobama will keep pushing Congress around so much that it back them into such a corner and will force them to impeach or face rebellion.
