I read that more than 70% of Americans are in favor of a pathway to citizenship.
This is like ACA v. ObamaCare.
When people are asked about ACA, they're in favor of it. Thanks to the lies from the right, when they hear about ObamaCare, they're 'agin' it.
Its just RW ignorance.
Another irony impaired far left drone..
So the far left supports the president to by pass Congress with unconstitutional EO's to push their religion on the masses..
you're an idiot
an EO falls under Executive Powers as described in the Constitution. Said description gives the POTUS the ability to bypass congress. An EO carries the same weight as a Law passed by Congress and signed by the POTUS. On that I'll bet.
I'll also bet how stupid you are ..
study up idiot ..
executive power: an overview
In its first three articles, the U.S. Constitution outlines the branches of the U.S. Government, the powers that they contain and the limitations to which they must adhere.
Article II outlines the duties of the Executive Branch.
The President of the United States is elected to a four-year term by electors from every state and the District of Columbia. The electors make up the Electoral College, which is comprised of 538 electors, equal to the number of Representatives and Senators that currently make up Congress. The citizens of each state vote for slates of electors who then vote for the president on the prescribed day, selected by Congress.
In order to become president, a person must be a natural born citizen of the United States. Naturalized citizens are ineligible, as are persons under the age of 35. In the case that the president should be unable to perform his duties, be it by death or illness, the vice-president becomes the president.
Amendment XXII placed a two-term limit on the presidential office.
The president:
- is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He or she has the power to call into service the state units of the National Guard, and in times of emergency may be given the power by Congress to manage national security or the economy.
- has the power make treaties with Senate approval. He or she can also receive ambassadors and work with leaders of other nations.
- is responsible for nominating the heads of governmental departments, which the Senate must then approve. In addition, the president nominates judges to federal courts and justices to the United States Supreme Court.
- can issue executive orders, which have the force of law but do not have to be approved by congress.
- can issue pardons for federal offenses.
- can convene Congress for special sessions.
- can veto legislation approved by Congress. However, the veto is limited. It is not a line-item veto, meaning that he or she cannot veto only specific parts of legislation, and it can be overridden by a two-thirds vote by Congress.
- delivers a State of the Union address annually to a joint session of Congress.
