Do you support the President and his administration seeking ways to bypass Congress to pass his Jobs Act?

Hell he did it for Bombing Libya.

Liberals just to need to face the facts. Obama has no respect for the rule of law and our republican form of government.

IF the president has the means to try this, that's as a results of fact sometime interior the previous, Congress authorized such strikes. The president can't pass rules on his very own, he can purely artwork interior the framework of contemporary regulation. He CAN even nevertheless replace something that Congress hasn't quite required/allowed. occasion: area of the triumphing immigration regulation helps the criminal expert accepted to waive specific regulations and permit a relatives to proceed to be mutually. interior the previous, this as been desperate on a case-by means of-case foundation. If the president comes to a decision that quite of waiving 30 situations in step with 12 months that he will loosen up the regulations and permit 50,000 situations in step with 12 months, he can try this as a results of fact Congress not at all positioned a cut back on what share waivers are allowed. it extremely is the variety of element President Obama is providing to do.

I do not support one branch trying to circumvent another because it damages the system of checks and balances. Our system is not perfect by any means, but when Presidents start to go around Congress it puts us on a slippery slope. Some would argue that he has to do this because Congress will not work together. The flaw in their thinking is that they believe their opinion represents the majority thinking at any given time. They rarely give any actual thought to counter arguments and instead just dismiss them as an insubstantial minority.

He has an obligation to do what he can for the country, even if the Republican agenda involves doing as little as possible to make him look bad. The President actually does have a fair amount of flexibility in what he can do, Constitutionally speaking.

Anyone who thinks that the only option the President has is to wait for legislation to pass, sitting on his hands, has no idea of how the office of the President has operated since this country began. "Passing legislation illegally by executive order" is something your overlords have made up. "Executive order" is not something you can make illegal just because you want it to be. Fantasizing about putting people in internment camps is simply your sick fantasy, and in no way the equivalent of helping people hurt by pointless compromises that gave Republicans almost everything they wanted. Republican desires to cause 50 million people to die homeless and hungry quietly without complaining are unlikely to be fulfilled. .

money can not be appropriated without an Act of Congress, according to the Constitution.

as far as i'm concerned, that's the end of such foolish talk from everyone, elected President or no.

Nice rant. Very creative and well thought out. Unfortunately you do lack an understanding of executive powers and the legislative branch.

NO.

This is not the way the Gov. is suppose to work. He is not a dictator, regardless how much he wants to be.

Congress makes the laws.

Bet you didn't mind when a certain other President (cough, cough) did this, do you?

"To defer compliance with the Supreme Court's demand, the White House has walked a tortured policy path, editing its officials' congressional testimony, refusing to read documents prepared by career employees and approved by top appointees, requesting changes in computer models to lower estimates of the benefits of curbing carbon dioxide, and pushing narrowly drafted legislation on fuel-economy standards that officials said was meant to sap public interest in wider regulatory action."

Or this one in which a certain administration "allowed Phoenix-based Neutron Energy to stake 20 new mining claims south of the Grand Canyon on August 7, in violation of an emergency Congressional resolution passed seven weeks earlier that declared off limits to mining activity approximately 1 million acres adjacent to Grand Canyon National Park." http://www.ewg.org/report/bush-ignores-law-protect...

But I'm sure it was OK when this other president did it, isn't it? After all, the problem isn't in circumventing Congress, it's going against your agenda, right?

He should not be thinking that way. This is why our government

has checks and balances so the president can't take over and

pass his own agendas. We call it corruption.

NO. This is not the way this country is supposed to work.
