Is Obama a President or King?

[Heywood]

It doesn't matter how many executive orders any president issues. What matter is the nature of those executive orders.

You mean like giving amnesty to illegal aliens?

Like St. Reagan did?

Reagan's deferral of some deportations is addressed in the article I linked in the OP.

Every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower has deferred some deportations. President Reagan deferred deportations for about 100,000 families of foreign nationals in 1987 under his reading of the congressionally authorized 1986 amnesty law, and President George H.W. Bush did so in 1990 for about 350,000 foreign nationals under his reading of the same law. Each of these was based on a principled public presidential reading of the words and purposes of a federal statute. Obama does not purport to read and interpret the current immigration law; rather, he effectively rewrites it.

Here is the link again

I haven't read the statute under which Reagan and Bush deferred deportation but I assume it contains a set of standards by which a president is allowed to defer deportations. If Obama re-writes this standard then he is going above and beyond what Reagan and Bush did. He is effectively tossing out a law he doesn't like and replacing with an executive order that he does like.

We won't know until we see the executive order.
