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.
I wish it was only fifteen times .
Imperial Presidency and so many going along with him it almost seems insurmountable. I don’t know if America will or can ever recover to revert back to the Constitutional Republic she was.
So where is the law suit…Blah, Blah, Blah…all talk no actions…losers…we must take the steps necessary to make real change…
Let’s ROLL already!
He should not be above the law, no politician should be, they work for us not we for them !!
How about 15 life sentences then
God help U.S. Why can we not fix this mess??? Todays folks have had there balls removed by liberal bedwetters, Our Parent’s and there Parent’s would not have put up with this B/S!!!!!!Vote them all out or find some Tar & Feathers!!!!!!
fox news and more flies on the horse manure!!
What is the matter with Washington D.C.? If Obama is breaking the law,then arrest him! We would jailed for breaking the law! WAKE THE F— UP!!!
Jim Milano, I appreciate your passion and agree with your feelings. That being said, however, please know that your tactics will do nothing to heal the problem. When all you do is say derogatory things people stop listening. Facts and truth are much more useful tools. For instance, did you know that Obama is a disciple of Saul Alinsky? He studied and taught Alenskys’ book, “Rules for Radicals”. The book has a dedication to Lucifer in it. It is a favorite book of Marxists. Watch the documentary ” Agenda, The Grinding Down of America”. It has won awards and will open your eyes. “THEY” want us to spew hate at one another. Divide and Conquer is part of the plan. We all need to realize what is going, the threat from within our own country, so we can stand together and take back America.
