Krauthammer called President Obama’s executive actions “unbelievably unconstitutional” and lawless and pointed out the double standard that if the President were a Republican, “the people would be up in arms and would be impeaching.”
Krauthammer counts at least “at least 15 times” the President has circumvented Congress on issues such as immigration, climate change, and most recently Obamacare.
Obama and his accomplices in Washington are winning at this point…carrying out lawless acts for a Socialist destruction of our country that continues unimpeded. Your move America!
During an interview on Fox News’ “Special Report,” columnist Charles Krauthammer called President Obama’s executive actions “unbelievably unconstitutional” and lawless.
Krauthammer pointed to a double standard in Washington and asserted that if the President were a Republican, “the people would be up in arms and would be impeaching.”
According to Krauthammer, the President has circumvented Congress “at least 15 times” on issues such as immigration, climate change, and most recently Obamacare. He specifically referred to the Dream Act, in which Obama implemented certain parts of the pending legislation in 2012.
The executive order debate resurfaced when Obama announced at his State of the Union address, “I will issue an Executive Order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour.”
Heritage Foundation Legal Fellow Andrew Kloster, who has argued that Obama’s unilaterally raising the minimum wage is likely unlawful, told The Foundry that Krauthammer is absolutely correct that the President Obama has taken an unlawful “go it alone” approach.
“Whether it is making unlawful payments to congressional health care plans, making recess appointments in violation of the Constitution, or urging federal contractors to violate the WARN Act,” Kloster said, “this administration has taken numerous actions that are abusive or plainly unlawful.”
Kloster noted that Obama’s actions are often justified on the grounds that “if Congress won’t act, I will.” He said that is not consistent with the Constitution:
Frankly, circumventing the constitutional role that Congress plays in our Republic cannot be justified, no matter what the policy goals. Every President takes an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution” and has a constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” President Obama should always put that oath and his constitutional duty first. His politics, his legacy, his party — all these should come a distant second.
Amen
But nobody has the balls to do anything about it.
what is congress afraid of just do not make sense if it was the public the iron hammer would have come down long time ago
Krauthammer is right, as usual.

Impeachment does nothing, look at Billy Boy Clinton. This President should be put in jail for murder, for treason, and for supply weapons to Islamist groups. All his assets, too, should be taken away
it’s the truth he is destroying this country
