I said if you have a problem with how EOs are used and have been used that's fine. Criticizing Obama for how he uses them is fine too. Just don't act like Obama is doing anything new because he isn't.

Obamacare was crammed down the throats of the U. S. citizenry by 1 party vote, now the president is unilaterally making changes that clearly help out Democrats in the upcoming elections (as other posters have stated), so do all of these EOs fall under the constitutional "gray area"?

And if a Republican is elected president, what could he do to the law that would fall under this "gray area" definition? Suspend the mandate indefinitely? Not letting able bodied people, who refuse to work participate? Allowing doctors to not participate and not to have to report to the Feds? And on and on...?

I would imagine EO's are to be used in times of emergency or contingencies, not to circumvent Congress. I would also believe it's blatantly unconstitutional to have members of the Legislative Black Caucus "write executive orders for the president to sign" (see Sheila Jackson Lee).
