He won’t do it. Too many in his own party will lose the coming election.

What’s one election? Obama is looking at the long term. Let illegals in and the congress will soon be permanently Democrat.

What laws cover the denaturalization process? Can 5 million naturalized citizens have their citizenship rescinded by the next President and Congress?

Obama could declare the entire Constitution null and void tomorrow and still we wouldn’t be able to muster the 67 senaturds needed to remove him from office.

Well, in a way, he did:

"...generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted, and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court-focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change…. I’m not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through courts… The Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day … The Framers had that same blind spot … the fundamental flaw of this country."

The GOP-e will scourge their conservative base for suggesting that maybe the House of Representatives might make some effort to try and prevent the US legislative branch of government from being absorbed by the offices of an America-hating punk and his evil followers.
Los Tres Amigos, the Bendover Triplets Boehner, McCain and McConnell, will be leading the charge as usual against Americans and defending the Democrats from charges of tyranny.

Silly me.

Since the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration, I "naively" thought that Obama's bold move concerning immigration would be to encourage Congress to propose an immigration amendment to the Constitution to the states. This is because if the states choose to ratify such an amendment then the feds would have the constitutional authority that they need to regulate immigration and Obama would be a hero.

They should cut funding for anything that would make him change his ways, but they won’t. So we slide further towards dictatorship...

By the end of the summer, US citizens will be trying to dodge the Ebola outbreak and will care less about the borders. Something always happens to save his demonic a$$.
