I have no strong feelings one way or another on amnesty for illegal immigrants, but presidents bypassing the legislature by executive fiat is a very, very bad idea. Gridlock isnt a bug, Mr. President. Its a feature. And it isnt hard to imagine scenarios in which this expanded power could be abused: “Can a President who wants tax cuts that a recalcitrant Congress will not enact decline to enforce the income tax laws? Can a President effectively repeal the environmental laws by refusing to sue polluters, or workplace and labor laws by refusing to fine violators?” washingtonpost/politics/obamas-potential-immigration-plan-could-enter-uncharted-territory/2014/11/17/3e5be738-6dde-11e4-ad12-3734c461eab6_story.html
