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.
Oh look a voter that still swallows the orange goo
I pray so!!!!
aww you have a nice comment i will like to have you as my friend can you send me a friend request
Then do something already. Geeez
Charles nothing is going to happen to Obama !!! Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” is rhetoric !!! No one is going to upset the establishment in DC. If Trump is “draining the swamp” why are we dealing with more and more sanctuary governments ? He has the tools to punish those governments and the elected officials are in violation of American law so he has the tools to take them down—he hasn’t and he won’t !!
First it was Obama wasn’t born here, then there was a rigged election, then there were 3-5 million people that voted illegally now his office was bugged by Obama. Now he should tell us where Jimmy Hoffa is buried
I sure wish you had spoken out during the eight years that son-of-a-gun was president. What the hell took you so long. I was a great admirer of yours until this election cycle when you were as snarky as the Democrats about our new president and our president to be Donald Trump.
Trump is right…….
It is so. YouTube – search video TRUMP Chosen by God To Stop America’s Destruction – Astounding 2011 Prophecy. You will love it. It is awesome.
So charge him with all 15
