So I would think there would be screaming and outrage when a President does not uphold the law, yet all is quiet. Kind of like when gas was hitting $2.00 under Bush, everyone screamed and now it is over $3.00 and not a sound from the masses.............so odd.

Let him veto it. That will look great in an ad against his party.

Why would he bother vetoing it? It wouldn’t be enforced anyhow.

"Let him veto it. That will look great in an ad against his party."It would also look good on an Articles of Impeachment.

You bet. Let him go on record vetoing a bill that merely says he's required to the job he took an oath to do.
To: blueyon
What if he doesn’t veto it, but refuses to enforce it?

On the other hand, he could just sign the law and proceed to ignore it... (like he does our Constitution and all our other laws)
To: blueyon
You wold think that someone would point out that this “concept” is not up to the political (i.e., let’s vote on it!) whims of the legislature or the executive branch.
I fail to find any clause in the consititution that provides for selectivity in either branch.
I say that a member of the executive branch that does not execute, uphold or enforce duly executed legislation is in contempt of congress and should be jailed on simple conviction.
To: blueyon
I happen to agree with him on this one.
The Constitution requires him to execute the law. The bill is redundant.
The only thing that is missing is impeachment and demanding that the Congress enforce the constitutional requirements.

... that would allow legislators to take agency officials to court ... Doesn't this indicate current RINOs are scared to use their constitutional power to impeach to impeach Obama?
To: blueyon
I have an idea. IMPEACH HIM. Surely repeatedly violating the constitution is a High Crime!!! HURRY UP
To: blueyon
Liberals never wanted a president who would enforce laws. They wanted someone who would seize as much power as possible to either overturn capitalism or at least prevent conservatives from having any voice at all.

Obama already took an oath to DO what this law tries to compel him to do,why does the House waste their time on useless votes,Impeach him for violating the Constitution,Defund Obamacare,they had opportunities to do these things and they wet their pants,tell Boner to take a hike and stop wasting time on useless stunts and do something useful

Article 2
Section 3: Presidential responsibilities
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers;
he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
So this position must be more of the "fundamental transformation" he promised. So much for foundational law.

King Obama's solution for any Congressional member
or American, who dares vote for, or demand
a bill requiring the undocumented KING to adhere to Law.
