re: Administration delays ACA implementation again...

Can anyone answer this question with legal specificity, such as Decatur or VB (lawyers) as to what authority Obama or his designee has at their discretion to circumvent an act of congress in delaying implementation? Is this written into the ACA?
Are we to assume this means if the GOP controls the Congress after 2014 and they were to pass a tax break, that Obama could unilaterally (and indefinitely) delay it taking affect?
If the GOP takes back congress this year, does this mean that Obama could sign legislation and simply delay implementation at his sole discretion without recourse?

Suffice it to say that there is history behind the executive not enforcing laws. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes not. It sucks and it blinds us to absurd things that are still on the books. Is this legal? Probably. Doesn't mean it should be. Think federal pot laws, DOMA, separate but equal statutes in the south until the last few years. Executives don't enforce law all of the time.
