TakeYouToTasker Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Also, do you really think he'd get immigration reform passed in the GOP dominated House and Senate? Obama definitely abused his executive powers more than anybody since Harry Truman, but like Truman it was because of a "do nothing Congress." The role of Congress is not to act in accordance with the President's wishes; but rather to act as a check on Presidential power. If Congress disagrees with the President, and checks his attempts to advance his agenda, it does not bestow special powers to act unilaterally on the President. The fact that you seem to be making excuses for President Obama, noting a "do nothing Congress", is representative of an actual Constitutional crisis.

And they succeeded as Obama's immigration executive orders were overturned in the Supreme Court. The system worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system did not undo the damage done by the Obama Administration. The Administration intentionally working an end run around the Constitution and our entire legislative process was a disgusting abuse of power, and nothing more.

I agree that Harry Reid foolishly eliminating the filibuster to push through federal judge nominees and executive office appointments did lasting damage to this country. He even foolishly said before the election that Dems should use the nuclear option to get Garland through if they had the majority in the Senate and the presidency post election. Joke is on him now as McConnell did the same with Gorsich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that now. I think at the time I assumed he meant that if we went through the impeachment process that the House would probably go dem. I gave him too much credit.

B-Man Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Major Insurance Company Will Leave Ohio’s Insurance Exchange........Obamacare claims another victim. Anthem Inc, a prominent national health insurance company, has decided to leave Ohio’s health insurance exchange citing a volatile market. It’s another example of Obamacare’s collapse, especially since Anthem became “a major player in the individual insurance market created by the federal health care law.” From The New York Times: Ohio state insurance officials said they were reviewing their options but put the blame squarely on the federal health care law. “For the past few years we have seen a weakening in the federal insurance marketplace as a number of companies have withdrawn from the exchange,” the state agency said in a statement. “We have always argued the private insurance market is the most severely impacted by the federal law and that is where Congressional action is needed to restore stability.” (more…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
