Because he's an egotistical narcissist. He can't stop himself.
They need to get him to veto that bill to expose his contempt for law.
There is a constitutional crisis ongoing in the US. However, nobody seems to notice.
We truly have become the nation of the LAWLESS. As a Republic we stand at a critical juncture of history. If nobody stands up and yells ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT or does something else to stop him, there wont be much of the democratic republic by the time he leaves office and at this point I am not sure he will even voluntarily leave ofice.

I think those of us here notice.
The only way to end Obama, is to get 67 votes against him in the senate and IMPEACH... that’s it folks, and sadly, even if the republicans were to sweep all the Senate elections (and even the most optimistic view doesn’t believe that will happen) Republican’s would only hold 66 seats in the Senate.
Since Democrats have for 5 years shown they do not care whether the president obeys the constitution or not, they are only going to break with the party and vote to impeach if pressure is beyond what they can bare.
Odds of enough Dems in the Senate willing to do the right thing happening are insanely low even if Republicans sweep in November. Maybe they will to save themselves be able to get a vote or two, but I doubt it. The law doesn’t matter because our politicians have put party over the law, period
Those of us here constitute the smallest of minorities.
RE: There is a constitutional crisis ongoing in the US. However, nobody seems to notice.
There really is only one constitutional remedy for this — IMPEACHMENT.
It will be impossible a t this time... and we’ll have to wait and see what happens end of this year.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. ‘Of course you don’t— till I tell you. I meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!”’
‘But “(faithful)” doesn’t mean “a nice knock-down argument,”’ Alice objected.
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’
‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master— that’s all.’
It’s PAST TIME to invoke The I-WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When president decides that he does not have to enforce laws he does not like, the people have no obligation to obey the laws they don’t like.

Something like this can cut both ways...
Let me give you a theoretical example.
Let’s say we now have a very conservative, pro-life President sitting in the Oval Office.
Before he was elected, however, a previous Democratic legislature and President signed a law that REQUIRED the President to provide funding, support and building of clinics for abortions up to and including partial birth abortions.
Should the conservative President follow this law?
Well said!
A law requiring obedience to law? These Republicans are really something else. Enough theater.
No surprise here.
Just waiting for the next abomination to happen and the next grabbing of the ankles by congress critters.
Furthermore, many do not consider this president to be president. Heard he doesn’t even e-verify.
RE: A law requiring obedience to law?
Pretty soon this will be an endless loop... A law will be drafted requiring obedience to a law that requires obedience to the law... :)
It would have to pass the Senate first and Reid would never allow it up for a vote.
You are not quite right in your scenario as it is Congress who doles out the funds and determines where they are to be spent, but I get your drift. Should the president be required to enforce a law that he believes to be morally wrong?
