The fact is, executive orders cannot pass bills or acts or any federal laws. If it were that simple, Obama (or any other president) would have just written an executive order to pass any law he/they wanted, like the healthcare one, for example.
Sure.
Ask those Japanese sent to internment camps, violating their constitutional rights, based on "executive orders".
I see we are getting no where, cause you have failed to see the bigger picture.

I suppose you are blaming Obama for that as well?

Roosevelt was acting on the will of the majority. Americans were pretty ticked off after Pearl Harbor, and no one trusted anyone who was Japanese at that time. Are you blaming a president for doing something that everyone wanted him to do?

It violated Constitutional rights.
Really, why are you even arguing this with me? Do you not care about the Constitution? Your rights?
Proving that executive orders can and have been used to violate the Constitution, and all you can come up with is more questions deflecting that it has been done?
You sir/mam are intellectually dishonest.
I'm out.

Did or did Senator Obama campaign on closing Gitmo ?
Yes he did.
5 years later as Potus still open.
So...........

Why are we talking about Paul?
If Paul was elected, this Congress would have to either play ball, or go home.
If "We the people" elected Paul or a Gary Johnson for example, it would mean that the Peoples message to the Democrats or Republicans is one of "we are done with you."
I think if "We the People" voted someone in like that, Congress would have no option but to change. Change or get voted out also.

Sure they do.
Those who are playing the R and D game care. Those using excuses for these politicians.
People who voted for Obama voted for 16 years of Bush Policies. Isn't that something?
I quoted those in haste on my way out the door, but what about the executive actions? I am outside, but when I get in I will delve into Obama's EO's and EA's further.
I posted a lot of other info in posts previously, any input on those?

Really am tired of hearing that lame excuse the 'obstructionist Republicans' nonstop,
Guess some people think it is the House's job to get on its knees for the party that holds 2/3 of government power.

Unfortunately, I'm not laughing.
16 trillion in debt, and we are still dealing with a nonexistent President, and Administration doing their best at failing.
Eventually the bubble will burst. We will see what "executive orders" will be used. History tells us we cannot continue to print money, and survive as a Nation. Period.
