What a rube!
Find me one President in the last 100 years who wrote less EOs than Obama has. And I include Ford and JFK who served less than one full term. And Carter, Bush Sr., and Taft who all served only one term.
Go ahead. Find me one who wrote less EOs than Obama has.
Then explain how Obama has "pushed the envelope beyond the breaking point on executive orders".
Before you rush into some rant about "unconstitutional" or "dictator Obama" or somesuch bullshit, be prepared to provide specific evidence of Executive power that only Obama has exercised.
Ready? Go!
Really? Were they such things as Obama unconstitutionally declaring congress in Recess? Or unconstitutionally ignoring federal immigration law? There are lots of meaningless executive orders, its the substance of them that counts.....Pure numbers include meaningless ceremonial executive orders. Obamas a power grabber, unchallenged from the mainstream media unlike others
Woo! You have had ALLLLL day, and you can't find a President who wrote less EOs than Obama!
OH! I was SO hoping you would bring up the amnesty thing. Thank you very much for doing so.
The amnesty for illegals who were brought here as minors was not an EO, dipshit. Try again. You rubes keep repeating that lie over and over.
And the "amnesty" was not unconstitutional. Did you know Bush Sr. granted an identical amnesty to Chinese immigrants? Of course you didn't. That's how lies of omission work.
USCIS - Deferred Enforced Departure
Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is in the Presidents discretion to authorize as part of his power to conduct foreign relations. Although DED is not a specific immigration status, individuals covered by DED are not subject to removal from the United States, usually for a designated period of time.
As for the recess appointments, there was never any ruling on what constituted a recess. Now there is, and Obama came down on the wrong side.
How many times was Bush overturned in court? You want to label all those times as him acting unconstitutionally?
You really need to think about the benchmarks you are setting. When we measure Obama by your own criteria, he does not even approach other Presidents for "unconstitutional" actions that have been overturned in federal court, or the number of EOs he has written.
So keep working on finding that "breaking point" he is at which no other President has reached.
Basically..congress just never declared recess.
Recess should mean..that.
No one doing any work? That's recess. And that was the situation. There was no one even in the halls of congress when they didn't declare it.
Simple.
