The government can choose not to prosecute certain cases just the way a policeman can choose not to write you a ticket when he pulls you over for running a stop sign.

When did Reagan ever unilaterally decide that he wasn't going to enforce the written laws?
Cinton was impeached because he lied under oath.
The POTUS isn't allowed to have a "secret life," otherwise get out of the job. Sneaking women into the White House behind the curtain is not in the job description when state secrets could be damaged.
If military people's lives are going to be investigated inside and out to get their security clearances, then the POTUS better have a clean life and keep it that way while on the job. How could Bill Clinton enforce any adultery UCMJ charge while he was POTUS?
Nicaragua, gang, Nicaragua.
The Republicans are usually on the top of this impeaching business so why are they remiss in doing their duty now? The Republicans have a majority in the House of Representatives, the branch of government that does the impeaching, so why aren't they doing their job?
What is the matter Republicans?
What are you waiting for? If you can impeach over a blow job, you can impeach over this
Hey, fuckwad, Clinton was impeached for perjury, or did you miss that salient point?
Nope becuse the lie he uttered on the stand was NOT perjury you fool

Perjury Law & Legal Definition
Perjury is the crime of making a knowingly false statement which bears on the outcome of an official proceeding that is required to be testified to under oath. A statement is made under oath when 1) the statement was made on or pursuant to form bearing notice, authorized by law, to the effect that false statements made therein are punishable, or 2) the statement recites that it was made under oath, the declarant was aware of such recitation at the time he made the statement and intended that the statement should be represented as a sworn statement, and the statement was signed by an officer authorized to administer oaths.
Ah..so signing statements are illegal now?
And where were you guys when Reagan violated legislation handed down from Congress by selling arms to Iran and the Contras?
I don't know, I can't recall, I don't remember ...

If the citizens of this Republic still took the Constitution seriously, Obama would be impeached for his decision to unilaterally grant amnesty to certain illegal aliens.
Article 1, Sec. 8 of the Constitution, which enumerates the power of Congress, states that "Congress shall have the Power To... establish an [sic] uniform Rule of Naturalization." Congress has passed numerous laws pertaining to immigration and naturalization, including laws requiring the deportation of illegals.
The role of the President, according to Article II, Sec. 3, is to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Obama's refusal to execute Congress's immigration laws (or, for that matter, Congress's Defense of Marriage Act) is an impeachable offense. Article II, Sec. 4 states that the President "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for... Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The deliberate failure to enforce valid immigration law and allow hordes of foreigners to live and work in the U.S. is, arguably, "treason," and doing so in an election year to appease Hispanic voters could certainly be considered "bribery."
In theory, Obama could exercise his power in Article II, Sec 2. to "grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States" and offer a blanket pardon for all violators of immigration law. He's not doing that, because he'd certainly lose in November if he did. (However we should be concerned that if he does lose in November, he'll do it anyway on his last day in office).

BTW, Stephanie and other rabidly ignorant rw's, EXACTLY what was "unconstitutional" or illegal about the president's action?
Thanks ever so much.

That you have to ask demonstrates both your utter ignorance of the Constitution and the job of the President as laid out there, and the OP you're presuming to comment on.
Come back when you've read one or, better yet, both.
