Clo,
Congress is supposed to pass the laws.
Obamba is supposed to enforce them.

Obamba is not supposed to be allowed to pick and
choose which laws he will enforce.

Nor is obamba supposed to be allowed to 'create' new
taxes as in the 'carbon tax' he is trying to have
the EPA create.

Riddle me this . . .
Is a law still a law . . when half the people have to
obey it . . and the other half do not because obamba
used his 'executive order pen' to grant them waivers?

Zim.

John Boehner May Sue Obama Over Use Of Executive Actions

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) is talking about suing President Barack Obama for allegedly exceeding his constitutional authority when it comes to administering the laws that Congress passes.

Boehner has frequently accused Obama of picking and choosing what portions of laws to enforce, sometimes by issuing executive orders. That is particularly so for health care and immigration. Spokesman Michael Steel says the Ohio Republican told members of the GOP rank-and-file a lawsuit is possible, but didn't provide details.

Steel also noted the House has passed legislation on two occasions attempting to rein in Obama's actions, but the Democratic-controlled Senate has refused to act on them.

Any lawsuit could lead to a far-reaching court battle between the president and Congress, who make up two equal branches of government under the Constitution.
