Frustrated Obama's message: I'll go it alone
By Tom Curry, National Affairs Writer, NBC News - January 26, 2014
When he stands before lawmakers Tuesday night for his State of the Union speech, President Barack Obama will have a message for the divided Congress that has largely stymied his agenda for the past three years: Fine, Ill go it alone.
Ive got a pen, Obama has said in the weeks leading up to the speech, and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.
Many of Obamas big policy goals have ended up stranded in limbo between the Democratic-controlled Senate trying to advance his agenda and the Republican-led House bent on stopping him.
And, heading into a midterm election year, he faces lame-duck status unless his party can regain control of the House this November.
Frustrated with the Capitol Hill quagmire, the president is increasingly turning toward the power of the presidency to try to solidify his legacy. Obama has pledged to act, saying, We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that were providing Americans the kind of help that they need.
"The president sees this as a year of action, to work with Congress where he can and to bypass Congress where necessary," White House press secretary Jay Carney told ABC News Sunday.

Executive orders and directives
Based on what Obama and his aides have said in the run-up to the State of the Union, its likely that he will seek to test the limits of what he can do through executive orders and directives to federal agencies.
...
But congressional Republicans are on a high state of alert for what they see as Obama intrusions on congressional law-making power.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., warned Sunday that when the executive branch tries to assume the legislative powers, that that's a form of tyranny.

Would you like some Vaseline with that dictatorship?
Good for him, it's about time. Boehner and McConnell should be hung in effigy for putting themselves and their party over the nations people. I hope they both lose their elections in November.
And when President Cruz does that you'll be the first calling for his impeachment. Hypocrite.
What?Good for him, it's about time..."...Would you like some Vaseline with that dictatorship?..."
Rule by Decree?
Good?
Please, tell me you're kidding.
People who are ready to accept Rule by Decree are a danger to the Republic.
It is my hope that all men and women of goodwill, who believe in our Republic and its People, and who come from all walks of life, and from any party, will be appalled by such a prospect.
A true 'emergency decree' (executive order) here-and-there is a necessary evil.
But to apply that same principle to far more commonplace and mundane and everyday governance - or to matters that traditionally require the asset of Congress - is unacceptable.
No excuses... no explanations... no juicy rationalizations... no caveats.
No Rule by Decree - period.
The line gets drawn here - cross it, and face Impeachment.
For such a loathsome approach to governance, we may actually see enough Democrats disgusted by the idea, to actually convict, once the House impeaches.
If those Senators love our country and its People, and the Constitution they're sworn to defend, then they will have no choice but to convict, if Rule by Decree is attempted.
Such a method of governance here is unacceptable.
Unacceptable.

When he stands before lawmakers Tuesday night for his State of the Union speech, President Barack Obama will have a message for the divided Congress that has largely stymied his agenda for the past three years: Fine, I’ll go it alone.
“I’ve got a pen,” Obama has said in the weeks leading up to the speech, “and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.”
Many of Obama’s big policy goals have ended up stranded in limbo between the Democratic-controlled Senate trying to advance his agenda and the Republican-led House bent on stopping him.

With that sort of despicable explicit consent to Rule by Decree in mind...Obama should have done this three years ago
It is not given to the President to usurp the powers of Congress.Congress has shown they are unable/unwilling to do their job. Least productive Congress in History It is long overdue for the President to start using executive actions

Any President who actually ends-up going that far is in trouble.

Are you at all familiar with our system of government?
He will be impeached and thrown in jail.
