I am not the emperor of the United States." On another occasion. he lamented: "Believe me. the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. but that is not how our system works. That is not how our democracy functions. That is not how our Constitution is written." By setting aside settled immigration policy and ignoring statutes he finds inconvenient. President Obama has set a new precedent that a President can arbitrarily declare what is valid and what is not valid immigration law. Should his successors make up their own versions of any Federal statutes that they choose. in areas ranging from abortion and gun control to drug enforcement. environmental protection? And I would also add. heck. why not throw in income tax?
