His answer makes sense, really. He knows that Constitutionally a president is NOT allowed to “make laws” himself. Yes, I know that Obama has over-ridden than effectively, but let’s be honest...do we want to keep on letting presidents make laws by fiat? By memos to this staff or another department? He cannot do what is NOT ALLOWED by the Constitution. Will he try to get certain things done? Yes, but he is wise not to promise those things because Congress is OFTEN unwilling to go along with republican presidents. We are letting the media take out our best candidates on silly stuff? Good grief! Even if Ted Cruz wins, do we really want him to rule like a dictator?
We are supposed to be Constitution-loving people here at Freerepublic.com. Let’s not forget the real issue here. Cruz cannot just do certain things, undoing laws that Congress passed, for one. He can over-ride EOs, but that is all. Laws have to be legally over-ridden by Congress.
The media are out for a story. They will make anybody look bad for the ratings. I am SOOOOOOOO glad I don’t have a TV. I’d have probably ruined it by now.
Well put.
