Thank you. So much is discussed on EO and Obama pushing the envelope. But, if he does have this authority, then we can’t say it’s an illegal power grab. And, if we can elect a GOP president next time, that president can revoke this order.
He has no such authority. Bad thing is, there is too much precedent.
The only thing the Constitution says is that the President has to “take care that the Laws be faithfully executed” (Article II, section 3, clause 5); that has been abused for a long time as an implication that a POTUS can make executive orders with the power of a royal decree.
