Yup, down here in Florida we like to make sure that we’re sending only the best and brightest off to Washington to represent us. If only that were true. Recently it was one of our resident morons, Rep. Frederica Wilson who was asked whether the Constitution grants Barry "Almighty" the authority to unilaterally convert illegal aliens into legal residents. This reject from a nut farm didn’t really answer the question, but said, "ask the president."
At a Politic365 event at the National Press Club, it was an enterprising reporter who asked Rep. Wilson, "Does the Constitution give President Obama the authority to unilaterally convert.." Wilson interrupted saying, "the Constitution?" But the undeterred report continued, "convert illegal aliens into legal residents in the United States?" Wilson responded, "You’re going have to ask the president that. That’s a question for the president -- not for me."
The reporter continued, "Do you think that putting them [illegal aliens] on a path to citizenship would help the unemployed in America?" Wilson, who’s about as bright as that other imbecile from here in Florida, Corrine Brown, said, "You have to ask the people who research that, I’m not researching that right now." So we have a member of Congress who would first need to do some ‘research’ on what powers the president is granted by the Constitution?
Barry has said, on any number of occasions, that he fully intends to take unilateral action to give illegal aliens a path to be legal, if Congress does not act. Yet according to Article 1, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution, it’s Congress that has that power, not the Executive branch. It’s the Constitution that states, and very clearly so, that, "Congress shall have the power… to establish a uniform rule of naturalization."
"Executive amnesty is a sham," said Richard Kelsey, an assistant dean at George Mason Law School. "It is both an improper extension of executive power and crime." He said, "Neither the Constitution nor any federal law permits the president to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Moreover, the president has no legal authority to direct his administrative state to defer, suspend or stop deportations." Hence the reason behind his being referred to as a ‘lawless’ president."
While Barry does have the authority to issue executive orders, Congress has the power of the purse, meaning the House must decide whether, or not, to fund any of Barry’s very clearly unconstitutional actions, including any form of immigration amnesty, Obamacare, or even Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. Barry views the presidency differently than most other men, he views it only as a tool and as a means to an end.
The question is, will our Republican Congress have the political courage to do what is necessary to reign in this president? Because as much as these guys like to sound like they’re willing to stand up to him, who can remember the last time they did so? Our Republic has been moved into a very precarious position where it can be said to hanging by a thread, and what we need is for our newly elected majority to exhibit a little backbone and save what’s left of the country.
