he President today signed an Executive Order (attached) establishing a Council of Governors to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State Governments to protect our Nation against all types of hazards. When appointed, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard of the various States; homeland defense; civil support; synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.

The bipartisan Council will be composed of ten State Governors who will be selected by the President to serve two year terms. In selecting the Governors to the Council, the White House will solicit input from Governors and Governors’ associations. Once chosen, the Council will have no more than five members from the same party and represent the Nation as a whole.

There is a serious question whether this Council is constitutional. If it has the power to issue binding legislation or regulations, it is not constitutional.

I'll be interested to see whether any members of the press will note that we already have a system for the states and the federal government to work with each other, It's called the Constitution. And that was not established by the order of any individual. Obama now thinks that his ideas are better than Washington, Adams, Franklin, and all the other Framers, all put together.

There he goes again. Anything and everything Obama does is a strategic move to increase his power over the people through the executive branch.....

CASE IN POINT Ohaha signed an Executive Order establishing a Council of Governors to strengthen the partnership between the Federal and State Governments to "protect" our Nation against all types of hazards. The Council will review matters involving state National Guards; homeland defense; civil support; synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities. (emphasis added)

FOR YOUR REFERENCE The phrase "to gain executive branch authority" was first heard 70 years ago, or so.....part of a package called "The Enabling Acts"......although it was written in German. The Enabling Acts granted "the executive" the authority to write new laws and change old laws without oversight.

Barry's EO and his Council of Governors is so illegal it's almost funny. It has all the authority of printed toilet paper, so I hope he one on hand after a night of eating Mexican food.

And forget his Birth Certificate.
I demand to know who took his college and law school tests because this MORON sure didn't.

13 to 5?!?

I thought that was going to be the Supreme Court vote on whether it is Constitutional (har, har, what’s that word?) for 0bama to suspend elections for ‘national security purposes’?

Why do you think they are hidden?

Where are his college transcripts from Columbia and Harvard?

Why is it that not one solitary undergrad knows Obama from Columbia?

Oh stop that birther craziness, didn’t you hear Glenn Beck say it was the silliest thing he ever heard? And Rush hasn’t said anything about it, if the media isn’t reporting on it, don’t you know it doesn’t exist? LOL

Obama’s entire life has been removed ... People only hide things when they have something to hide.

*** Why do you think they are hidden? ***

I don't necessarily think they're 'hidden'. I think this moron didn't take them. Someone else did.

*** Where are his college transcripts from Columbia and Harvard? ***

Releasing his Transcripts would mean that his grades would become public. And that would shoot down the BS that his IQ is 180 (he was never tested. the 180 was 'determined' by the average IQ of real students at Harvard).

*** Why is it that not one solitary undergrad knows Obama from Columbia? ***

Not to mention his first College, Occidental. Another 'elite' school that this kid with no money attended (its now $32K a year).

From graduating HS to him blowing into Chicago the guy's been a phantom. This 'genius' was allegedly Editor of the Harvard Law Review but NEVER wrote one single thing that was published. I kinda think that's just a bit odd.

He is a con man, and Harvard has a long history of pandering to black students.

Ironic isn't it, at least Hitler served in the Germany Army in World War I and received the Iron Cross, Emperor 0bammys' claim to fame is nothing but Selective Service 'registration' records of dubious legitimacy.
