I don't think I've ever seen a public official with such blatant disregard for the will of the people he is supposed to represent. This is all about buying future votes. Nothing but a power trip. I am so frustrated. Vote them all out.
The Fact is President Obama[The President of the United States] is given the right to pardon anyone he chooses to.
Article II, section2 of the US Constitution..." he[the President] shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of impeachment."
It doesn't say..Except for illegal aliens...nor does it say ...and not 12 million.
I dont think he would do it...but He has the LAW behind him...
Executive Orders can be challenged in court. These challenges to the EO are that the Order deviates from "congressional intent" or exceeds the President's constitutional powers.
The fundamental criticism of Executive Orders is that a President could make major policy decisions without congress by exercising his authority to create EO.

Why do you always state the obvious as if that is going to change our minds about how we feel about this? Just because a President has the legal ability to do something doesn't mean it is right, especially when the majority do not agree with it.
You act like you are the legal voice of reason up in here all the time.
