If an individual breaks the law, does that mean the President can break the law?

Obama pointed out that those mass shootings denied people from their rights to religious freedom, and free assembly. So now that empowers his administration to break the law?

    What is the law if the chief executive can freely disregard it? On the contrary, if HE violates any law, he must be held to a higher standard, and be held accountable....NOT given license to break more laws.

    Obama hasn't broken the law. He used his presidential authority in a legal manner. Just because you don't like Obama, it doesn't mean he is doing something unconstitutional. Does your lame attempt to accuse the president of breaking some imagined law mean that you support the killing of innocent citizens in this country? Do you favor people being able to commit mass murders with practical impunity? Isnt it better to try and stop the slaughter before it happens rather than deal with the aftermath? He is just requiring background checks for everyone who wants to buy a firearm. Please tell us why that is bad. If it keeps a nutcase from getting a gun and it prevents even one mass killing isn't that worth it?

    Source(s): I am a veteran of the US Army. I am also a disabled vet. I served my country and literally gave a part of my body in defense of my country. Im going out on a limb and say you haven't served anyone or done anything in your life to try and actually support our country. Just being a racist who doesn't like our President because he is black doesn't mean you've accomplished anything.

    Imagine the social turmoil in elementary schools, and intermediate and middle and high schools, to have confused boys whose parents give them all these Prozac drugs and high fructose corn syrup and video games all day to decide that they want to get attention dressing up like a girl in the bathroom. Truth is you can just put dark eye makeup on and act all upset and alluring and you'll have all the women chasing you around -- it's been like that for around thirty years. I didn't have to do that but the point is I used to laugh at all the guys who did all of that but it worked in college too. So if you want to do that, don't put on a dress and go there, with a cherry or cupcake pattern on it, and curlers in your hair. Just dress in black and act all alluring like you're a vampire, that'll get the 14-15 year old girls all day long if you want.

    No, but imagine 14-15 year old girls not in the restroom, but in the GYM... and there's a guy in there with long hair, and he's got male hormones, he's attracted to women. Let me tell ya... half of these so-called gay guys, you look at the anthropology, they're getting more dates, more girls than the straight guys. It's all bull in most of these cases. And, it's a way to then get into the middle of the school, make a huge scene out of everything. People complain and now it makes it to the top of the school that 3 or 4 guys are in the girl's locker room and you're going to make the school and make the parents submit to it. And then it becomes the big issue in the school, and now it's not reading, writing, or the Constitution Bill of Rights, science, exploration. NO. It's all "I'm transgender!" and of course you don't see girls do aggressive stuff like this. There are almost no cases of women claiming they're boys and that they want to be in with the boys. NO. The women that think they're boys want to be in with the girls too!

    I mean, let's get real, everyone wants to be in with the girls, don't they? Because they are the progenitors of life, they are the magic creatures, they are the heart of the civilization, they have twice the DNA a man has. So a guy saying he's a girl, SORRY, you don't have mitochondrial DNA. You are not even a full species, women are. But you won't hear one word from the fake feminists about this because they tell women they love them because they want to control them and keep them in that reservation close to them so they can destroy you.

    He hasn't broken the law. And he's still issued fewer Executive Orders than Bush and most other presidents.

    Why not Bush did.

    And he got a Library named after him.

    But since it is in Texas it contains mostly Pop-Up books due to the low literacy rates.

    first of all you should stop making fox news your source of information. he is absolutely correct. those shootings did deny those folks freedom to assemble. what he is proposing now is simply a change to the background checks made on those individuals who up to now have no accountability for whom they sell guns to. you can keep your guns, no one is taking them away from you. just a change in how you buy, or sell, a weapon.
