IF YOU LIVE IN AMERICA.... YOU SHOULD READ THIS SHORT SIMPLE CIVICS LESSON.... Back in the 1700s the world governments consisted mainly of Monarchs.... Kings.... Queens..... People who controlled All The Functions Of Government By Their Own Absolute Authority and Power.... When The Colonists Living In North America Rebelled Against King George III Of Great Britain and Declared Their Independence On July 4, 1776..... The Colonists Were Determined To Establish A Government That Would No Longer Reside In The Hands Of Just One Person. In fact The Founders Of Our Nation Designed A Constitutional Republic...... A form of government built upon some important ideas..... First...... The Rule Of Law. Second...... Government By Election Our American Government At The Federal Level and At The State Level Is Mandated By The Constitution That It Must Be Republican In Form and Function... ((Republican.... In This Case Does Not Referr To A Particular Political Party.... But Rather To The Form and Structure and Function Of The Government)) Here Are The Basic Principles...... 1.) Power Resides With The People. 2.) The Government Function Is Managed By Elected Officials Who Represent The People and Who Run The Government As A Trust From The Hands Of The People. 3.) The Elected Officials Are Guided and Controlled In Their Actions By A Constitution Of Law.... All Actions Of The Government ((The Elected Officials)) Must Be Within The Dictates Of The Constitutional Law. As the 13 Colonies Designed Their New Government.... They Insured That No One Person or Group Could Usurp All Authority To Themselves..... They Did This By Creating 3 Branches Of Government.... Each With Its Own Responsibility and Authority..... Established By Constitutional Law. 1.) The Legislative Branch... To Create Law. 2.) Executive Branch.... To Enforce The Law. 3.) Judicial Branch.... To Interpret and Apply The Law... Guaranteeing That Each Law Is Faithful To The Constitution and Applied Fairly In Each Case. SO...... NOW WE SEE THAT IT IS ONLY CONGRESS THAT IS EMPOWERED TO LEGISLATE LAW..!! When The Current President Of The United States Signed A Piece Of Paper That Supposedly Gives All Illegal Immigrants Certain Legal Rights.... ((Rights That Were Not Authorized By Congress))...... He Overstepped His Authority and Violated The Constitutional Law Our Government Is Built Upon.... Basically Making His Action Illegal.!! The President Used A Type Of Authority That Is Given To District Attorneys... To Attempt To Justify His Actions..... A Legal Function That Resides With The Executive Branch..... Called Prosecutorial Discretion..... An Easy Way To Understand This Legal Right Of The Procecutor Is To Put It In Simple Terms...... ((For Example...... If You Are Arrested For Shoplifting.... You Local District Attorney Has The Legal Right To Decide How To Prosecute YOU.... He Can Even Decide To Not Prosecute You.!!)) BUT...... Even Though The DA Has The Right To Decide YOUR INDIVIDUAL CASE....... Your Local District Attorney CAN NOT Legally Decide That All Shoplifters Go Free..!! ((That Would Be Creating New Law..... Which The Prosecutor Is Not Allowed To Do)) The District Attorney ((The Executive Branch)) CAN NOT Legally Decide That ALL ILLEGAL PEOPLE Go Free..!!!! His Decisions About Prosecuting or Not Prosecuting Are Limited By The Rule Of Law...... What Does The Law Say.?? The Answer To That Question Is What Determines The Legal Actions Available To The Executive Branch.!! In This Case.... Even Though It Is True That The Immigration System Needs Reform ..... The More Important Issue For Our Future As A Nation..... Is The Question Of Constitutional Authority and How It Applies To Our 3 Part Republican Form Of Government. If Congress Does Not Challenge The Constitutionally Illegal Actions Of Our Current President....... Then In Reality We Will Be Reshaping The Basic Framework Of Our Nation and Allowing The Office Of The President To Take Independent Action Outside The Legal Boundaries Of Established Legal Law.!! Which Is A Threat To Our 239 Years Of Independence and 226 Years Of Established Constitutional Government.
