The Unconstitutional Presidency

9. ....all the big items on his agenda — including, say, an immigration bill, a budget, a lunge for more borrowing — do require Congressional action. Even the big items already enacted — Obamacare, intelligence gathering — are awaiting review by the Supreme Court.

Obamacare is awaiting review by the Supreme Court?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Wow, frank and PC, quick, send a letter to SCOTUS.

 

[NYcarbineer]

It's too bad the rightwing nuts on this forum have given up making arguments, and now only make excessively dramatic, baseless proclamations.

I guess they just got tired of losing arguments.

Now isn't your post insightful

The OP proclaims the presidency 'unconstitutional', and yet makes jo semblance of an argument to support that claim.

Is that all this forum is now? A venue for rightwing nuts to spout off while their fellow nuts pat them on the back?

Aren't there enough places on the internet for the 'nuts to do that?

 

[Sallow]

Oh..I thought this was going to be about Ronald "the rapist" Reagan.

Who really did operate outside the Legislative Branch.

Iran?Contra affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You called Reagan a "rapist"

Argument invalid.

The investigation absolved Reagan of any wrongdoing. I've read the Tower Commission report more than once.

Well no it didn't.

People went to jail for that. And Ronnie had to apologize.

And as to Reagan being a rapist?

Gipper the Ripper?

With rants like this that lack any intelligence or logic why would anyone want to waste their time communicating with you. You lost this argument in the first 5 words, so just crawl back in your commie slime pit and pretend your smart.

Yep, there are cases moving to the court that bring up points not considered in the first fiasco. Should the administration be worried, yes actually.

Where's the ARGUMENT in the OP, or anywhere else in this thread that the current presidency is unconstitutional?

So Reagan and Obama are effectively equal in the 'wrongdoing' column?

I must congratulate you.


That's a truly appropriate avi for a bird brain.

Do you have any evidence Obama is going to enact an immigration bill, a budget, or lunge for more borrowing without Congress?

Didn't think so.

Conservatives will vigorously oppose the notion of a powerful chief executive right up until about one nano-second AFTER a Republican gets nominated president.

"Obama said he has a pen and a phone! This means he is going to enact an immigration bill, a budget, and lunge for more borrowing without Congress!"

Oh..I thought this was going to be about Bill “Shechem” Clinton.

"....Bill “Shechem” Clinton."

What a truly disgusting way to try to mitigate the record of a real rapist.....Bill “Shechem” Clinton....by slandering a great American, whose economic policies benefited every American, and whose foreign policy benefited every human being.

Only a low-life Liberal would behave in such a manner.

Tell us how Reagan's foreign policy benefited the Marines who were killed in the Beirut barracks bombing.

Be specific.

This is but one of the variety of lies one expect of one like you.....one of low character.

Exactly. They had no problem while Bush was doing all this shit. I have concluded there were all in comas for eight years and awakened on January 20, 2009.

All these police powers Obama has were handed to him by George "Patriot Act" Bush.

And Executive Orders have been around for over a century. They seem to be oblivious to this.


"Oh. My. Gah-awd! Hussein sez he haz a pen! This can only mean...HITLER!!!"

 

[Dutch]

Not only has Obama behaved extra-constitutionally, but he is so arrogant as to threaten to continue operating outside of the legislative branch.
He makes clear..."I have a pen"...that he will govern via executive orders, whether or not the Congress has sent laws that authorize his actions.




1." “He has been seated on a throne surrounded with minions and mistresses, giving audience to the envoys of foreign potentates, in all the supercilious pomp of majesty. The images of Asiatic despotism and voluptuousness have scarcely been wanting to crown the exaggerated scene. We have been taught to tremble at the terrific visages of murdering janizaries, and to blush at the unveiled mysteries of a future seraglio.”




2. That is how Alexander Hamilton, in 67 Federalist, lampooned the picture of the presidency that was being painted by critics of the Constitution.

3. ....on the eve of the State of the Union message that is required by the same Constitution for which Hamilton was harping, we are [still arguing], as President Obama vows to conduct his office without authority of the Congress and with the aim of implementing policies and programs it did not ...approve.




4. These stampings of the presidential foot are one of the darnedest things we’ve covered...

5. “You can do a lot,” Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, Daniel Pfeiffer, was quoted by USA Today as having said on Fox News Sunday... executive orders last year on “new climate change regulations” and “expanding wireless access for schools.”

6. ... Mr. Obama “is not going to tell the American people that he’s going to wait for Congress.”





[Can you see why it is tragic that government schools no longer teach civics or the Constitution?]





7. USA Today reported... that Mr. Obama’s “authority is limited.” It said his “biggest agenda items” would “require legislation from Congress, including the Republican-run House.”

8. Hamilton [wrote] in 70 Federalist about the importance of “energy” in the executive and the danger of “feebleness.” It strikes us that by emphasizing what he can do without reference to Congress the president is underlining the latter.






9. ....all the big items on his agenda — including, say, an immigration bill, a budget, a lunge for more borrowing — do require Congressional action. Even the big items already enacted — Obamacare, intelligence gathering — are awaiting review by the Supreme Court.

10. Whether Mr. Obama is actually going to stand before Congress tomorrow and lecture them on his abilities to act where they won’t, well, this is hard to foresee."
‘Year of Action’ - The New York Sun





Isn't it about time for the Congress to stand up for it's rights, it's authorities?

Time to slap the offending hand in the cookie jar.

Your Essay Is Your Mouthpiece
Should the quotation speak for the essay or should the essay speak for the quotation? Quotations should add impact to the essay and not steal the show. If your quotation has more punch than your essay, then something is seriously wrong. Your essay should be able to stand on its own legs; the quotation should merely make this stand stronger.

How Many Quotations Should You Use in Your Essay?
Using too many quotations is like having several people shouting hoarse on your behalf. This will drown your voice. Refrain from overcrowding your essay with words of wisdom from famous people. You own the essay, so make sure that you are heard.

Didn't think so.

That's your problem. You rarely think so. Have a look:

“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone ... And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible, making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance, to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating. One of the things that I’m going to be talking to my Cabinet about is how do we use all the tools available to us, not just legislation, in order to advance a mission that I think unifies all Americans. ... The belief that everybody’s got to take responsibility, everybody’s got to work hard, but if you do, that you can support a family and meet the kinds of obligations that you have to yourself and your family, but also to your communities and your neighbors."

-President Barack Obama, January 14, 2014

"Don't show us Obama is doing nothing new or unlawful! We don't like being shown what astronomical hypocrites and ignoramuses we are! So we will just respond to the preponderance of evidence of our shortcomings with, BOOOOOOOOSHHHHH!

Please bold and magnify the parts about enacting an immigration bill, a budget, and lunging for more borrowing without Congress for me, would you? I can't seem to find them.
