Obama has declared he will not let congress stop his agenda. Is this constitutional?

You know, just a few days ago I got into an argument with a few liberals about separation of powers. I noted that Federal Law supersedes State Law in certain circumstances and State Laws can be (and are) routinely challenged by the Supreme Court or Justice Department, and they said "no way".

I said Obama is making grabs for power outside of the Supreme Court and Congress. They said "No way".

Well, here it is I hope they are paying attention, because while they tell us to look away and call us paranoid, Dictator Obama makes it very clear he has no intention to respect the separation of powers or our Constitution.

You Are Correct , Lady !

The Zero has made it clear: his constitutional "scholarship" has served one purpose only, that is, solidifying his antipathy to the law of the land. His stated intent and his actions already flouting the constitutional limits on executive power and authority make it clear that he has already violated his oath of office, giving adequate cause for any honest member of Congress to bring charges forward to impeach and remove him from office:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Obama's agenda is to spend our country into bankruptcy to force us into a communistic society. This is against our constitution!!!!!!

We don't have the Constitution anymore, anyway. The courts will not uphold it. There's no revolution or junta in sight to turn things around, so nothing is going to get better.

Wasn't his first campaign for the presidency just like a lawyer, paint the picture for the desired outcome, disinterested in if the truth is opposite of the picture he's painting.

The EO has been used by many presidents. It is my understanding that it cannot be used in budgetary matters. This is how Balmy gets his czar mob into the agencies, ie. Mark LLoyd, FCC. Mark admires Hugo Chavez for the way he took over the media in Venezuela. We definitely don't need more of this ilk. He is just one of the loons Balmy has put into Commissions and Boards. Becker in the NLRB is another. The list is long and he keeps trying to avoid congress under the guise that the Republicans are obstructionists. Are they really or are they determined to save out republic from becoming a broke EU socialist nation?

President Bush put John Bolton into the UN by an EO. This was a smart move as Bolton is knowledgable in international politics. I hope that when Romney is elected he makes Bolton his Secretary of State.

It's becoming increasingly evident that he has no regard for the constitution. He's intent on forcing his agenda on America even if it means bypassing the congress and senate. His departure can't come soon enough.

That's one of the reasons they want to change the constitution, little by little.

According to CNSnews.com, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats in Congress announced on Thursday that they have moved to ratify an amendment to the United States Constitution that would give Congress power to control the political speech of corporations, including those corporations that produce films, newspapers, books, and radio broadcasts.

It's no longer little by little. It has become blatant and apparent that he is "changing" America. He told us he was going to do it but very few were listening or understanding what he sneeringly warned us he was going to do to us.

When people voted for BHO in 2008, they didn't pay attention to what was he saying, but he promised change and he delivered it. Sadly, some are still thinking voting for him. We can't afford to let progressives (DEM/REP) to win. That's the problem with the sheeps.

0bama is "The man who would be king"...

Under this administration, the executive office has become less a presidency than a 3rd world dictatorship in the making.

In that picture he looks like Idi Amin on Slim Fast...

That's why there are 3 branches of Goverment. The President is suppose to be controlled in his power grabs..by the other 2 branches.

He doesn't care about the constitution he wants it gone as do many liberals

and so it begins...if we fail in November....we must Think about the unthinkable

Agree - since he'll 'be more flexible' then...........scary idea - very scary.

" Just wait until the election is over...than I can do what I want " . Obama..2012 !!

I hope we don't have to do that...still the old saying is true...

"better to die on one's feet like a man...then live on one's knees as a slave"

The U.S. President has numerous powers; some granted by Article II of the Constitution, implied powers, powers granted by Acts of Congress (past & present), and enormous influence and soft power from his position of leader of the U.S..

So while it might not be explicitly in the Constitution, he does have powers which do not require the approval of the current Congress for sure.

The current Republican congress is acting like a group of economic terrorists; taking down the President and the country through their inaction on economic issues of great importance ... not just military action which they quietly approve of.

If the President ever was truly out of line with what congress wanted, I am sure he would be called on it and actually stopped. Not just this finger wagging and election engineering.

You might notice a huge double standard looking back at Bush and Cheney. Not that I would excuse inappropriate action in either case.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE HOLDING EVERYTHING UP !!!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES.....AND SHOW US YOUR IQ IS OVER 50.

Blocked for insulting me personally.
Edit: make that 2x.

you are an idiot you should be insulted!

You don't seem to understand why the country's founders put the separation of powers in place. It's to prevent things like a rogue president from doing things that the other branches think are not in our best interest or that are in violation of the constitution. Congress isn't there to rubber stamp what the president puts in front of them. They were voted on by the people in this country and if the majority don't vote for a bill it shouldn't be passed.

You didn't read what I wrote.

Obviously Congress granted special powers to all Presidents at some point.
They have no right to complain.

This is not a dictatorship, yet.

yet...he could pull a stunt before the election. If he gets another term, for sure dictatorship.

Now we need to have the USA citizens to show obama how to pack his bags!

But since when has he shown respect for the limits placed upon him by the Constitution?

All we need is a Congress with principles!! So I guess we are in real trouble!!!!!!!!!!!

Like everything this man does puts us in the hole. if it continues we will never recovery from his agendas. We need to put a stop to this legally. "We the people" WHERE ARE WE???

Whatever happened to the oath he deliberatly flubed.Ya know, with the word's to protect

and preserve the Constitution of the U.S.of A?

They always say every election year that this is the most important election ever, but this time around I believe that to be true. We may be in too deep to recover already from the last three years, but another four years will definitely put us all in the poor house for good!
