Would you want your congressman and senator to support Obama's impeachment if he ends up doing this?

Would that not be grounds for impeachment? He swore an oath twice to support and defend the constitution and he has tip-toed around it as much as possible, but executive amnesty would be crossing the line.

I just don't even understand how that could possibly fall within the President's authority.

Is there any precedent for this? Or is Obama just making it up as he goes?

Can you give amnesty to people without naming names?

In other words can you just pardon everyone who entered the country before a certain date without knowing who they are?

5 million illegals



What about the other 10-20 million? What happens to them?

I would like to think some military officers would remember that part of their oaths about domestic enemies and take care of the matter.

I hate to sound like a broken record on this, but what crime would he be charged with?

The Executive branch of the govt was not designed to have that power. It's authoritarian.

Obama can't be stopped.

He could give amnesty to 5 million illegals and actually gain from it.

If he did it and Congress moved to impeach, the Republicans would sadly get destroyed for attempting to do so.

We live in bizarro world.

The constitution does not give him the authority to make laws....only enforce them. The President has the ability to pardon criminals, does he have the ability to pardon every criminal?

If the President has the ability to grant amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens here, does he have the authority to grant amnesty to those who are not here yet? Can he give defacto amnesty to all mexicans who choose to cross the border illegally even in the future?

What is to stop him from granting amnesty to all the residents of Gaza and relocating them to the US?

Sure. Jimmy Carter did it for all the draft dodgers back in 1977.

Big surprise coming from you.

Obama could walk into your house at dinner time, drop trou and take a steaming dump right on your dinner table, and you would compliment him on what a delicious pâté' he just produced.

Technically, the US government had the names of those who dodged the draft. Do we have the names of all the illegals here?

No. I want Congress to zip the purse and NULLIFY Obama's criminal Constitutional nullification. Scare the bejesus out of the masses with fear of rampant disease, overloading of available health and education LIMITED resources and the influx of the heathen/murderous gang culture that they will bring with them. I'm talking take the gloves off/fire with fire scaremongering flaming. Give Obama as he gives; and it'll all backfire just like Bergdahl's parents in that stupid WH photo op/strategy.

If Congress did this, they wouldn't have to impeach Obama...the people's overwhelming REJECTION of the man and his leadership would utterly destroy him. He'd get pissed, and leave on his own.

Biden, would go along with anything - for the duration - to sit behind that desk. He'd be on the Right like gravy on rice.

Here's the thing: I don't believe that the President has the unilateral ability to grant citizenship without the help of Congress. I think we are mixing up pardons with citizenship.
