Ron Paul: “Will No One Challenge Obama’s Executive Orders?”
Former Rep. Ron Paul, as one of the few remaining American statesmen, has just penned an excellent article on the dangers of Washington’s gross misuse of executive power. Below are some of the more important snippets from the article, which can be read in its entirety
President Obama’s State of the Union pledge to “act with or without Congress” marks a milestone in presidential usurpation of Congressional authority. Most modern presidents have used executive orders to change and even create laws without Congressional approval. However President Obama is unusually brazen, in that most Presidents do not brag about their plans to rule by executive order in State of the Union speeches.
Sadly, his pledge to use his pen to implement laws and policies without the consent of Congress not only received thunderous applause from representatives of the president’s party, some representatives have even pledged to help Obama get around Congress by providing him with ideas for executive orders. The Constitution’s authors would be horrified to see legislators actively aiding and abetting a president taking power away from the legislature…
Political opponents of the president rightly condemned Obama for disregarding the Constitution. However, it was not that long ago that many of the same politicians were labeling as “unpatriotic” or worse anyone who dared question President Bush’s assertions the he had the “inherent” authority to launch wars, spy on Americans, and even indefinitely detain American citizens…
It should not be surprising that some of the biggest promoters of an “energetic” executive are the neoconservatives. They are also enthusiastic promoters of the warfare state. Sadly, they have misled many constitutionalists into believing that one can consistently support unchecked presidential authority in foreign policy, but limit presidential authority in domestic matters. Until it is fully understood that virtually limitless presidential authority in foreign affairs cannot coexist with strict limits on Presidential authority in domestic matters, we will never limit the power of the Presidency…
Most employers won’t face a fine next year if they fail to offer workers health insurance, the Obama administration said, in the latest big delay of the health-law rollout.
Iran’s military has successfully test-fired two new domestically made missiles ahead of talks with world powers to try to reach an agreement on curbing Tehran’s nuclear program.
If there were such a thing, it would probably be rule No. 1 in the teaching manual for instructors of aspiring suicide bombers: Don’t give lessons with live explosives.
China appears to be buying an expensive insurance policy for natural gas imports from Central Asia with its plans to build a pipeline through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Faced with a skeleton budget, the agency is looking for innovative ways to cooperate with the private sector in order to continue research and exploration.
This is the first test for Obama’s new policies on drones, which raised the standards required to approve the death of an American citizen with a drone strike — and without due process.
Switzerland’s surprise decision in favor of curbing EU immigration, was greeted by UKIP’s Nigel Farage as “wonderful news for national sovereignty and freedom lovers throughout Europe.”
