Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed by President Obama to 2015

By Douglas V. Gibbs

What does the Constitution say about Obama's executive action, and obviously political move because the mandate could hurt democrats in the 2014 mid-term election, to delay the employer mandate from the Affordable Care Act to a date after the election?

On Facebook, this was my answer:

The legislature has sole power over legislating (Article I, Section 1). The Executive is tasked with executing the law. He cannot modify the law, which he has done by delaying the mandate. And the President is bound by the Constitution to execute all laws. By refusing to, such as with immigration, or this mandate, he is in violation of Article I, Section 3 where it says "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

Might I add: Why is the government passing laws if the President is going to unconstitutionally pick and choose what he will allow?

Either dethrone this guy who thinks he is king, or admit a king is what he thinks he is.
