Although there is NEVER any chance that I will run or be elected to public office, I pretty much know what I would do if selected for the Oval Office.
First of all, it needs to be stated that America doesn’t need change; America needs restoration.
My first act would be to issue a pair of Executive Orders.
The first one would nullify every previous Executive Order, most of which are unconstitutional anyway.
My second Executive Order would completely repeal Obamacare, an unconstitutional action that was only passed by the Senate, deliberately breaking their own rules and procedures. Moreover, it was also a tax bill that unconstitutionally-originated in the Senate, not the House.

IOW, you would be a benevolent dictator.
LOL, that’s not how you could legally get rid of Obama care.
There’s this thing called Congress... you’d learn all about it when it impeached you.
The president swears an oath, prescribed and defined in the Constitution to protect and defend the Constitution. He therefore has a positive and overriding duty to refuse enforcement of all laws enacted in contravention of the Constitution.
And that’s the end of it.
right motive, wrong method.
i say lets give the guy a pass on this :)
I love the humor here. FReepers say the darndest things.
NO more illegal than Obama doing it already. He has issued EOs saying that though the law is passed, his big core constituencies are exempt from it. All this guy would need to do is issue an EO that all other Americans are exempt too.
Could be easily worded.
Absolutely. Except you haven't explained how Obamacare contravenes the Constitution.
Especially since the Supreme Court has ruled that it is limited to corporations.
Among other things, it violates the origination clause.

Can you tell me and the rest of us when this happened?
Been telling y'all since 2012.
