Obama’s threatened Executive Order amnesty would be a meaningless piece of paper!

Why it is critical for Congress to adopt a joint resolution condemning Obama’s E.O. amnesty

An immediate joint resolution by Congress condemning Obama’s Executive Order amnesty would have a very important legal meaning involved with acceptance by acquiescence!

Congress, and only Congress, has power to enact law, and that includes law dealing with naturalization and illegal entrants. If Obama carries through with his E.O. amnesty threat and dictates a policy dealing with illegal entrants which is contrary to Congress’ intended legislation dealing with the matter, a failure of Congress to not adopt an immediate joint resolution condemning Obama’s Executive Order would be a signal that Congress is acquiescing and deferring to Obama’s Executive Order amnesty by its silence!

A House/Senate Joint Resolution in response to Obama’s E.O. amnesty condemning it and stating specific reasons for condemnation would preempt the argument of Congress’ acquiescence; it would establish a legally recognizable good faith effort in the matter on Congress’ part; it would provide a necessary legal tool to have the Court grant an immediate injunction against Obama’s E.O., and it would put illegal entrants on notice that Obama’s Executive order carries no weight and offers them no legal protection from being punished and deported in the future . . . forewarned is forearmed!

Let us see if our new Congress is willing to confront Obama, and carry out the will of the American People.

Obama to divulge his decided actions dealing with illegal entrants on Thursday

SEE: President Obama to announce executive action on immigration Thursday


"According to a senior Democrat familiar with the plans, Obama will announce on Thursday that he is providing temporary protections to up to 5 million undocumented immigrants. His orders will make up to 4 million undocumented immigrants eligible for temporary protective status and provide relief to another 1 million through other means."


The question is, under what power delegated to the president under Article II of our Constitution may Obama grant “temporary protections” to up to 5 million foreigners who have invaded our borders?

Keep in mind Congress has been granted exclusive power to set public policy with regard to naturalization and aliens who enter our Country illegally. Perhaps I’m wrong but I suspect President Obama will not identify the delegated power contained in our Constitution during his announcement tomorrow which authorizes his stated actions. In fact I am almost certain Obama will merely say some such thing as he is acting under his “lawful authority as president” without identifying the wording in our Constitution which actually authorizes the President to do what Obama will allege he has power to do.

In response to Obama’s actions _ should he not identify the wording in our Constitution granting the power he will assume and exercise __ the House and Senate must immediately adopt a joint resolution declaring Obama's order to be without constitutional authority and therefore it “imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.” By doing so Congress would put our law enforcement agencies and administrative offices across America on notice to ignore Obama’s sedition, while likewise putting illegal entrants on notice that Obama’s order is null and void and provides no protection to them!

Finally, Congress’ next move would be to immediately file for an injunction to prohibit any federal or state agency to yield to Obama’s order while the constitutionality of Obama’s actions are being litigated.

I think the call for defunding Obama's amnesty is a Republican Leadership Hoax!

I know Obama is not supposed to use funds for amnesty if Congress puts this restriction in the budget. But we also know Obama ignores the rule of law and has instructed ICE to likewise ignore the rule of law and ICE has released countless illegal entrants into our population by following Obama's order. And this is the reason Congress must immediately adopt a Joint Resolution after Obama issues his amnesty order, condemning his order as not being a constitutionally authorized exercise of the powers granted to the president under our Constitution (see Article 2), and therefore, every State and Federal Agency is advised to ignore Obama’s order.



The House/Senate Joint Resolution should also state that Obama’s order, since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it. – 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256.



This is important to put illegal entrants on notice that Obama’s order does not afford them any protection from being punished and deported in the future for entering our country illegally!

Congress must immediately act in its OFFICIAL CAPACITY and condemn Obama's order! To not do so is a signal that Congress is abdicating its legislative power to Obama!

I think we will now learn which Republican members of Congress are actually on our side and in favor of defending our constitutionally limited system of government.

There is an important principle of law that an unconstitutional act, although masquerading as “law”, “imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.” ___ 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256

What this means is, if Obama should write on a piece of paper that millions of aliens who have invaded our borders and are here illegally should meet conditions arbitrarily decided upon by Obama, shall then no longer be subjected to deportation, that piece of paper would have no more legal force and effect than used toilet paper, and would provide no privileges or immunities to illegal entrants, nor protect them from future deportation. In fact, if Obama took this approach it would give illegal entrants and their families a false hope, and they would be in for a very, very rude awakening in the future!

You know, technically you're right. But as the CEO of the country, that makes Obama the boss of every federal border patrol agent. Will they mutiny and actually do their job? I doubt it. States could fill in the gap and enforce the law themselves. Not sure how that would work out.

I would like impeachment but republicrats already took that off the table. I would prefer to see Obama arrested. That would definitely be the highlight of my year. He is guilty of so many high crimes and misdemeanours he would never see the light of day again. Even the architect of Obamacare admitted yesterday they intentionally lied to the public, relying on lack of transparency and the stupidity of the people to ram the law through. That proves Obama is not as ignorant as he appears, but rather intentionally committing acts to betray the American people.

Without the GOP having 2/3rds of the senate impeachment over immigration is a political impossibility. The only way Obama can get impeached is if he is caught doing something so shocking that even significant numbers of his own party are willing to turn on him. If selling guns to Mexican drug lords doesn't do it.......

this will all work out in a COMPROMISE...

Expanding temporary protections to certain illegals is not "amnesty." I think all it does it reshuffle the order of the deportation queue. Here is a good read from February in the WaPo (Obama has apparently already deported 2 million illegals):

well, he and his side has the guns and can kill anyone they want; legally.

I came in here to posit a similar, if opposing, counterpoint.

All of what our rulers decree would be meaningless pieces of paper, if we had the courage to stick ten million rifle barrels in their faces and tell them to STFU and go away.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott vows to sue Obama over usurpation of power!

SEE: Greg Abbott Prepared to Sue Obama Admin. Over Executive Amnesty

”Texas' governor-elect, Attorney General Greg Abbott, laid out his border security strategy on Fox News' "The Kelly File" over the weekend. Abbott told host Martha MacCallum that if President Obama uses executive action on amnesty, it will result in the State of Texas launching a lawsuit against him.”

I believe this is a proper course of action for the State of Texas to take in addition to Texas immediately adopting a State Resolution condemning Obama's order as not being a constitutionally authorized exercise of the powers granted to the president under our Constitution (see Article 2), and therefore, the Resolution should also advise every Texas State Agency to ignore Obama’s order and not recognize work permits, drivers licenses, or grant access to State services [medical, schools, housing, etc.] which may be assertively available under Obama’s unconstitutional Order.

Attorney General Greg Abbott should also file for an immediate injunction in the Supreme Court to forbid Obama’s Order to take effect while the constitutionality of the Order is litigated. Under Article 3 of our Constitution the Supreme Court has “original jurisdiction” in cases involving a State!

Obama’s order needs to be stopped dead in its tracks before it takes effect and millions of illegal entrants start enjoying privileges and benefits attached to an unconstitutional order given by the president. Keep in mind, an unconstitutional act, although masquerading as “law”, “imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.” ___ 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256


Once again let me emphasize that we need cool heads and to follow sound thinking and principles already laid out by our nation’s history. Let us not forget how our founders reacted to tyranny and despotism, i.e., the Articles of Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Kentucky Resolutions, all of which were the first step in response to the very kind of tyranny and despotism which is now engaged in by the Obama Administration!

...impeachment...

Sorry, that's not going to be an option in this case because technically,
you must be a US citizen in order for the Constitution's impeachment
procedure to apply.

Thanks for asking - your name has been automatically added to the list.

It wouldn't be a meaningless piece of paper. It sets in motion a movement that is an incremental step for illegals to get what they want. They are slowly chipping away and even though it is illegal - it forms the basis for the next play. Kind of like a football team running the ball and grinding up the field. The only way to stop this is to remove the team or fine the people who give them work or shelter. This whole situation just sickens me to no end.

Obama to issue a “memo” on illegal entrants, not an executive order! REALLY?

So now we are beginning to hear Obama will not sign an “Executive Order” but rather a “memo" and will direct those who work under his Administration to ignore the rule of law and follow his dictatorial policy which in fact would violate existing statutory law!

The question is, will those who work in federal agencies abide by Obama’s “memo” which will be violating existing statutory law?

This is why it is important for Congress to immediately adopt a House/Senate Joint Resolution after Obama issues his “memo”, condemning it as not being a constitutionally authorized exercise of the powers granted to the president under our Constitution (see Article 2), and therefore, every State and Federal Agency, and those who work in such agencies, is advised to ignore Obama’s “memo”.

The House/Senate Joint Resolution should also state that Obama’s “memo”, since an unconstitutional act is void, imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it. – 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256.

Obama did not identify his asserted power to regulate illegal entrants

Well, I was correct in predicting Obama would not identify the delegated power contained in our Constitution which authorizes Obama to take the action he is now taking. He merely asserted he has such power. And what is most interesting is, a reading of Article 2 of our Constitution, which defines and limits presidential powers, mentions nothing about a delegated power allowing the President to instruct his Administration to ignore existing statutory law and carry out his personal whims and fancies regarding naturalization, or how to deal with illegal entrants. In fact, our Constitution commands the president “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed . . . ”

Unfortunately I do not expect there to be an “official” peep, such as a Resolution, from the Republican controlled House, declaring Obama’s actions have no constitutional basis; that his actions are a usurpation of Congress’ legislative powers, and as such are null and void an ought to be ignored by every federal employee less they become willing accomplices in Obama’s despotic usurpation of power!
