Oh, AWESOME! He's setting PRECEDENT! This must mean that WE can just not show up when ordered!
Right?
Well, We'll see if He is arrested for contempt... I guess I got excited prematurely.

Maybe you could explain just how one goes about "undoing the bailouts." Especially when the first 350 million dollars was given out by the Bush administration without any requirements of accountability. Why do you think Elizabeth Warren answered "I don't know" when ask by the congressional commission, where did the money go? Kinda like trying to undo a bank heist, easier said than done.
So go ahead, tell me how to "undo" the bailouts.

sub·poe·na/səˈpēnə/
Noun:
A writ ordering a person to attend a court: "they were all under subpoena to appear"
It's an order to appear.
Ignoring = Contempt of court = Bench warrant for failure to appear = arrest & jail.

Perhaps we can't undo the bailouts, but we CAN undo: Communist Obama care, continued multi-trillion deficit spending, farcicle foreign policy, countless Constitution-violating laws, etc... The list goes on and on and on and on and on. Obama = NO MORE YEARS!

After sparking a firestorm of criticism from Nevada's elected officials for suggesting that people saving money for college shouldn't blow it in Las Vegas, Obama told U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in a letter that he wasn't saying anything negative about Las Vegas.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will visit Las Vegas next week, on a five-stop swing through the West and Midwest.
Obama will be arriving in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jan. 25 and stay overnight, departing on Thursday, Jan. 26. No further details about the trip were immediately available, except that the president’s visit — like Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Reno’s Galena High School on Thursday to talk about college affordability — is official White House business.

I thank you for pointing out this little "fact" to the Obama haters posting in this thread. I swear, if the republicans weren't so ignorant, they'd be dangerous. And to think that they get offended when articles like this one make the cover of Newsweek. Go figure!

The question is are you willing to be the first domino?

Unfortunately his precedent will probably only apply to Presidents.

Officially, the most powerful man in the world is the Chinese President Hu Jintao, according to Forbes. But it changes and sometimes Obama pops back up to number one place. I think the Chinese president is the most powerful if you consider the influence China has over the USA economically (which is what power really is).
Anyway, what might happen if Obama doesn't show up? Is there any law regarding presidents and court orders?
Or can Obama just do whatever he wants without consequence.
