Should Obama Resign If He Won't Enforce Duly Enacted Laws?
Obama's Department of Justice says it will no longer challenge rulings against Bill Clinton's Defense of Marriage Act. Until the law is repealed by Congress and signed by the President or the Supreme Court finds it unconstitutional or lets a lower court ruling that finds it unconstitutional it is the law.
He said in the past he thought that Congress should repeal the law, but he had overwhelming majorities for two years and Congress didn't, so the law is the law.
So if the President can't carry out his duties to defend the laws of the country, shouldn't he resign?

ADDITION: If you won't defend the rulings in courts, you are not enforcing it. DoJ and the Executive branch don't get to decide constitutionality, that is for the Supreme Court to do. It upsets the balance of power when one branch attempts to usurp the duties of another.

the final public of Christians say that yet have no concept what they are. in this episode of the Stephen Colbert teach there became an interview with a Senator who became arguing that they'd desire to be displayed in our PUBLIC courts of regulation yet he could no longer call very many, if any in any respect. The homicide and stealing commandments? i've got faith the Egyptians, Greeks, Mayans, Celts, Norse and however different pagan societies had (very comparable, i'm prepared to guess) regulations. I knew each and every of them as quickly as and that they are rather ineffective. Exceptions may well be made for each and a few, as i've got shown, are popular morality rules maximum folk stick to. Edit: Beek, study a friggin historic past e book! 'One or 2 have been Deist...' my eye'. MANY have been deist, George Washington himself has suggested anti-Christian issues and the 1st government ceremony he performed became in accordance to Freemasonry rituals! Benjamin Franklin attended the 'Hellfire club' conferences and went to satanic events whilst he became in London...he had many woman 'acquaintances' and did no longer see his spouse for the final 20 years of their marriage and did no longer visit her funeral. He did visit church whilst interior the U. S.. Does that make him a Christian? John Adams and Thomas Jefferson have been the 2d and third presidents,,,they have been the two very anti-Christian. J. Adams even signed the Treaty of Tripoli which states that united states of america of america isn't a Christian us of a, it became additionally UNANIMOUSLY ratified with the help of the entire Congress...yet he additionally went to a church. Does that make him a Christian? study 'Founding faith'.
