It’s all political theater. The dims know they can’t do anything but they get all their publicity trying.

Trump is dragging the ‘crats out into the open on key issues that they had tried to side step.

This is good!

They’re losing votes by the millions as we speak.

REPUBLICANS SUPPOSEDLY ARE IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE OF REP’S, AND THE SENATE????

We voters put them in charge and they are failing us, they have fooled us and lied to us...and it is turning me completely on the Party that I have been a member of since I first voted in 1961...

I’m ready to leave and wish some one young, intelligent, and wealthy would begin a THIRD PARTY...IT IS TIME...IN FACT PAST TIME.

I’m pissed off and fed up...enough already...LET’S ROAR LIKE A LION SO THEY CAN HEAR US...WE THOUGHT WE DID THAT ON NOV. 8TH...TIME TO ACT IS NOW...

I WISH OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT WOULD THROW THE HATCH DOWN...more than likely the Terrorist controlled by BHO is laughing at us...

PRAY FOR AMERICA...

This is strange. Why did Republicans not act this swiftly in trying to stop Obama’s power grabs?

We couldn't since we didn't have enough in congress much less the senate. Things are different now. Be patient my FRiend.

I agree.

I don’t remember seeing folk openly calling for Obama’s assassination. This is a whole new level of vulgarity.

It’s very ugly and I hope it quiets down soon.

I wish the DOJ would go after Soros. Put the man behind bars, where he has belonged for decades.

This will stop shortly thereafter.

...”You know, I am a Catholic and a very strong believer in my faith, and as I watched Candidate Trump take arrows from all different directions from all kinds of different people, and then watching him as the Nominee Trump doing the same thing, and then when he ran against the Dem. Elected nominee, I stood in awe of what had been thrown at him by the dirtiest of dirty people, the Clintons, the underhanded lies and disgusting stories they tried to throw at him, and then after he won the Presidency and he was President Elect Trump, they still aimed their arrows and rocks and dirt at him...
Now as I sit and watch as President of the United States Trump do what he said he would do in all those rallies I sat and watched and prayed as many Americans were doing, I know now that God has His Hands on President Trump and America...he was chosen by God to lead America and anything that God decides to do will get done...
I am sitting here watching these people who haven’t got a clue about life outside of ‘The Swamp’ and I’m watching the Miracle of God performing and it brings tears to my eyes that we, a Country who has been so badly mistreated by a lot of her own people, are being blessed.”...

Just moments ago, I told my husband much the same thing. Donald Trump experienced miracle after miracle after he decided to run for President and those victories did not come from earthly influences because as soon as he announced, he was abused from all sides which included the leftist media, the entire Democratic party and most of the Republican Party elites. Now, many of those same people are trying everything in their attempt to keep him from doing his job. I would say to them that they are treading on dangerous ground because I believe in the power of God to arrange earthly events to bring about his Will in history and I believe Donald Trump is God’s man for this particular time. The Scriptures describe to us certain times when God even hardened the hearts of certain people as He arranged to bring them down. Our job, as supporters of this President is to pray and stand firmly against those who would use their opposition to destroy our duly elected President and our form of government.

Now, the democrats don’t either. But we did the last two years of Obama’s agony.

"Even if the law passed with Veto Proof majorities Trump, with the clear Constitutional Powers granted to him, could tell the other two branches of the Federel Govermnment “too bad” and proceed anyway."

Which powers are those? Congress has authority over immigration. Trump can execute his orders because the statute gives him the power to do it, but Congress could change that law if they wanted to.

Separation of powers is the stem of executive orders.

Congress can’t really do anything about them.

Executive orders are specific orders to the president’s staff. A person that can establish that he was harmed without legitimate cause may have standing to appeal to the courts for relief, but that is tenuous at best.

"Separation of powers is the stem of executive orders."

No, that doesn't make any sense. And you are over generalizing. But I didn't ask about executive orders in general.

Yes, executive orders can be orders that execute the President's regular authority over the federal government. Some are the exercise of powers granted to the executive by the law, such as the power to make regulations.

However, I was responding to another freeper asking them to explain a comment that these orders were within the president's clear constitutional authority. That's a narrow question. As I've already pointed out, his authority here comes from the statutes passed by Congress, not from the Constitution.
