An Executive Unbound: The Obama Administration’s Unilateral Actions


Abstract:

Abusive, unlawful, and even potentially unconstitutional unilateral action has been a hallmark of the Obama Administration. When Congress refuses to accede to President Barack Obama’s liberal policies, the Administration often ignores the restraints imposed upon the executive branch by the Constitution, and when the Administration disagrees with duly enacted laws or finds it politically expedient not to enforce them, it waives legal requirements. Under the U.S. constitutional system, Congress is charged with enacting the law, and the Executive is charged with enforcing it. The individual liberties of all Americans are at stake when one branch usurps the role of another. As the Framers knew well, the “accumulation of all powers … in the same hands” is the “very definition of tyranny.”

Regardless of political affiliation, all freedom loving Americans should be opposed to Obama's imperial decree of "executive amnesty" of illegal aliens.

The separation of powers is one of the defining elements of our government. But 'Bama is all about 'Bama, and always will be.

The Congressional Research Service says that Congress - which has the power of the purse - may defund what it wants to defund. Let's see if the Repubs are listening to the people who gave them a majority in both houses, or if they will choose to please the big money donors who want the surplus labor which will keep wages down and profits up.

Americans first in this magnificent country

American jobs for American workers

Fair trade, not free trade

I am doubtful that anything short of a miracle will break the Republican inertia! We the People must continue to demand that this Congress defund ASAP
