"That’s certainly kind of President Obama- he’s willing to work with congressional Republicans, but if they
don’t hop to attention, he’ll just wave his magic pen and create laws, despite having zero authority to do so.
I’ll write that again- the president has zero authority to create laws. He has zero authority to decide which laws will or will not be enforced. He has a limited veto power to keep bills from becoming laws, but he has zero authority to create laws. As the executive, he has the responsibility of executing the laws passed by Congress. Pretending that the president has “only one option” in this instance is absurd and precisely the kind of logic that stems from a generation bereft of an emphasis on history and government being taught in schools."
