ORIGINAL: Charles6682 It depends on what any President is using the Executive Powers for. In President Obama's case on immigration, he is doing the right thing. Republicans certainly have no intent on passing any immigration bill beyond "trap them in a net and send them all home", which is inhumane and won't work. O, that and build the new "Berlin wall" on the U.S.-Mexican border. Maybe if Republicans had tried to pass something, instead of just trying to fight Obama on everything, then maybe Obama would not have had to use "Executive Powers" on this. There's a different between using Executive Powers for something humane like this, and using Executive Powers for starting wars based on false knowledge. The "Berlin Wall" legislation was passed years ago, but never materialized. Do you understand how this representative form of government works? Elected representatives are there to represent their constituents. Now, if you have proof that the GOP representatives are casting votes in opposition to what their constituents actually want, then that's a different discussion, and one that should be had (but, by their constituents). If you don't have that proof, then, it's just as likely that the GOP representatives are faithfully representing their constituents, which is pretty much exactly what they are supposed to be doing. What war(s) were started by Executive Order based on false knowledge?
