President Obama has the authority to grant reprieves and pardons under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution; and Congress cannot limit the President's grant of amnesty or pardon. United States v. Klein, 80 U.S. 128 (1871).
The President can't enforce or not enforce anything. That's not his job.
Quote:
The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise.
The Cabinet and independent federal agencies are responsible for the day-to-day enforcement and administration of federal laws. These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Social Security Administration and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Seriously, you've been shown that is not applicable time and time again on the multiple threads you post this on. Give it up already.
The current occupier of the White House has said he would proceed with Amnesty "immigration reform" though Executive Order.
Republicans have gave a warning signal (like an Indian smoke signal) saying No, don't do it!
Could this be a treasonous act by the president and warrant impeachment?
Afterall, isn't it in the Constitution:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Constitution, Article I, Section 3
Well, Obama said as much:
"I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own, that's not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written.
The problem is that I'm the president of the United States, I'm not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed."

Amnesty are pardons are the not the same. Wherever you read this is incorrect.
