and I can write executive orders..."
In other words, he is going to govern by decree!

Obama On Executive Actions: ‘I’ve Got A Pen And I’ve Got A Phone’ « CBS DC

Do we still have a Constitution?
Is there still "Separation of Powers"?
When will the Supreme Court slap this guy down, and tell him "YOU can't DO that!"??

Actually presidents CAN write EOs and every president has done so.

It sounds like a threat to Congress to me.
They are all a bunch of millionaire bums that are so out of touch with the average American that they have no clue most of us are struggling or they don't care what the majority wants and needs.
Yes Obama has a pen and I'm nervous what twisted legislature he might sign in a attempt to make us better. I don't know who he is going to call, probably a yes man who is supposed to represent all of us, but I wish he would call me so I could lay a dose of common sense on him.
Obama has some very scary ideas that are really hurting this country and he is poised to destroy it.

Yes, but not one was as big an idiot as the current President.

Yes.

Do we have the guts to do whatever it takes to enforce it and make sure it's obeyed?

Ummm......

FDR wrote literally thousands of executive orders.
Reagan: 381
Bush: 166
Clinton:364
Bush: 291
Obama: 127

Hmmm... I don't think he's doing a lot of "ruling via executive order" here.

Legislature to sign would have to come from Congress, while EOs do not. There is a difference.
