Obama's Unconstitutional Executive Orders

By Douglas V. Gibbs

President Barack Obama continues to completely disregard Congress. It is his goal make Congress irrelevant.  That is what authoritarians do. . . they work to eliminate individual voices, and any chance of opposition against their policies of big government.

The problem is that Obama's Executive Orders are illegal. He is using them in lieu of legislation and treaties.  When it comes to legislation, the executive has no legislative powers. That means whenever he modifies a law, creates regulations on laws that are not on the books, or creates new policies, with his executive orders, he is acting illegally. His recent executive order seeking to implement international law is also unconstitutional. Any treaties with foreign entities must be ratified by the U.S. Senate.

This is why it is so important that we get his Marxist out of the White House. I may not be a huge fan of Romney, but I do believe he would abide by the limitations on the powers of the presidency.
