Executive-Order Overkill- With Increasing Frequency, The President Treats The Legislative Branch As An Unnecessary Hindrance.
Andrew Stiles * National Review
President Obama’s progressive base has been growing impatient. Representative democracy has proved an inefficient vehicle through which to enact leftists’ desired agenda; as a result, they are increasingly demanding that their chief executive act as if the legislative branch did not exist.
Last week, the chairmen of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), Representatives Raul Grijalva (D., Ariz.) and Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), wrote a letter urging Obama to sign an executive order raising the minimum wage for workers employed under federal contracts. Dozens of CPC members had been demanding such action for months. “It’s frustrating,” Ellison told the National Journal. Obama and most congressional Democrats have spoken out in favor of a nationwide minimum-wage hike, but the effort has stalled because the proposal is unlikely to pass either chamber.
Immigration activists have repeatedlycalled on the president to use executive action to end all deportations, just as hecircumvented Congress in 2012 by ordering the Department of Homeland Security to halt deportations of immigrants who claimed protection under the DREAM Act, even though that legislation is not law and has been defeated multiple times on Capitol Hill. Last week, more than two dozen Democrats wrote a letter urging Obama to take “the sensible and moral step of stopping deportations.”

Soooo
When does the Legislative Branch get enough of Hussein’s mockery of the way of proper governance. Or do we all just start doing whatever the h*ll we want to do.
I guess the POTUS became above the law when Hussein was given the office.
People ignore God and do what they want, and BO ignores God and does what he wants. I really don’t see any difference.
