Nope. Congress writes the laws, the Executive executes the laws. If he says "No more deportation unless they have a felony arrest record" there isn't a damned thing Congress can do to stop him.
Because he doesn't care. They deny they ever said something even when there's proof it was on tape. They do.not.care. The left wants what is wants and doesn't care if they contradict themselves, doesn't care if it hurts workers, and sure as heck doesn't care if it's what the majority of Americans oppose.
Why haven't any members of the GOP in congress bought this up? I know the Dems certainly won't.
Not only that but where in our immigration laws does it state that non-convicted felon illegal aliens get a pass on deportation? It doesn't. Illegal aliens are subject to deportation simply by being here illegally.
I remember 6 years ago when Rush said "I hope he fails" and wow did he get slammed by the left/right for saying it. But, now, after 6 years, he was dead on. Good call Rush.
The intent of the constitution was for the executive to execute the law, congress to write the law, and the judicial to interpret the law.
The President isn't mandated anywhere in the constitution to execute the law, and they can do so in however they deem necessary at the time. That is the power of the executive branch.
Now, if there were an amendment saying "The president must execute the law how congress deems to do so" then he would be breaking the law, but that isn't what it says.
"The President isn't mandated anywhere in the constitution to execute the law, and they can do so in however they deem necessary at the time
Really? " “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
"Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution: the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed".
Since EVERY law passed by Congress and signed by thr President is considered to be lawful under the Constitution., I don't AGREE WITH YOUR CLAIM.

According to the original intent of the Constitution, they could, but they wouldn't.
Could congress authorize leadership contact border Governors, ask them to deploy the national guard to the border to close it off and authorize the needed funds to do so?
Before we all go crazy with the silly ass predictions and get ourselves into fits of apoplexy, why not just wait until the Republicans take power and see what happens.
Maybe, just maybe they can come up with a bipartisan solution.
"Maybe, just maybe they can come up with a bipartisan solution"
It never fails. For 6 years ther dems NEVER "worked for a bipartisan solution", Now that they have lost BIG TIME of course they want to "come up with a bipartisan solution"
Whoda' thunk?
