Brazen power grab by a true megalomaniac. Meanwhile congress has become the proverbial worthless “potted plant”; it stands idly by while he abrogates their legislative function.

Unfortunately, it can not happen, and will not happen, not now, not ever. He is protected by trillions of race cards.

Any executive order he issues is subject to lawsuits that can include a cease and desist order until the suit is settled...in reality he can just take over....that’s not to say he can’t do a lot of damage!!!

Obama 2008: Bypassing Congress Unconstitutional- I’ll Reverse It

“The biggest problems that we’re facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m president of the United States of America.”
