Creating Executive Orders, isn't that an ability granted to him by the constitution you vehemently defend?

Don't forget, EO's can be (and at times are) reversed by any following president. Will your next leader revoke it? Watch out for the pie in your face.

No, an Executive Order is not a Constitutional right.

Even if they were, if the President decides to override Congress, then what is the use of Congress? A dictator needs no help.

I didn't say it was a right, just an ability.
U.S. Presidents have issued Executive Orders since 1789. Although there is no Constitutional provision or statute that explicitly permits Executive Orders, there is a vague grant of "executive power" given in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, and furthered by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 4.

As for a dictator, this is the same ability exercised by our past dictators. I'm just asking whats the difference?
 
I don't think so.
Seems they had the 'Ruler', and or 'elitist', but not God mentality.
(note Oprah's new religion, and what Obama has said on the subject)
 
The last one talked with God and got answers... I think that he got far closer to the "God mentality' than Obama.

I was watch as rep. Tom Price asked what he was supposed to tell his constituents
when they asked about the pres. saying the Republicans haven't sent they any ideas...
The pres. essentially said that they haven't sent them anything that wasn't debatable
by his annalist, therefore they haven't sent anything at all.

So, if something is sent that isn't fully in line with his ideology, he won't consider it at all,
but yet he says he isn't an ideologue?
Obama = Liar.

I mis-spoke....It is not a power granted the President under the Constitution.

You really don't see the difference? That's very sad for our nation.

The differnce is, the Seante had already taken up this matter, decided it unworthy & passed on it. Obama, not liking this decision, over-rode the Senate. He bypassed their authority & overstepped his. So, by using powers not granted him by the Constitution, he made the Congressional powers his own, much like a dictator would do.

Executive orders are usually on matters that are temporary & not taken up by a house of Congress.

Interesting. Not a single one by those who fought & paid for the new nation.
