If This Bill Becomes Law, Arizona Is About To Throw A Major Wrench Into President Obama’s Agenda.

Quote:Per the Constitution:

 

Executive Orders

In times of emergency, the president can override congress and issue executive orders with almost limitless power. Abraham Lincoln used an executive order in order to fight the Civil War, Woodrow Wilson issued one in order to arm the United States just before it entered World War I, and Franklin Roosevelt approved Japanese internment camps during World War II with an executive order. Many other executive orders are on file and could be enacted at any time.

But the president also has executive authority over the federal agencies and the legal standing of this orders are that he can order them to allocate funds and directives as he/she sees fits. This is at least the interpretation that seems to hold them up legally speaking.

 

Again legislation could be proposed to reign these in. Neither democrats nor republicans want to do that. They just want to complain and give you reason to get mad at a democrat or give a republican a pass.
