Democratic majorities in both the senate and the house. So large in fact he could have designed and passed a bill exclusively through the democrats. Instead he focused on what would become his signature legislation, obamacare. By the time president obama began his second term he no longer had control of the house. He vowed again to make immigration a focus of his agenda, but then the administration turned its sights on gun control. In june 2013 the Senate Finally passed an immigration bill. But the house by that point said no. Now after a major Midterm Election loss that put both the senate and the house in gop control, the president says he now plans to bypass congress altogether allowing with the stroke of a pen millions to stay in this country. Despite the fact he himself has argued he does not have the power to do this. The notion that can i just suspend deportations through executive order, thats just not the case because there are laws on the books that congress has passed there
Would not conform with my appropriate role as president. Joining me now, ed henry. Ed . Good to see you the president on offense. Were now in they failed to do so. I indicated to Speaker Boehner several months ago, if congress failed to act, boy use all of the lawful authorities that i possess to try to make the system work better. That is going to happen. Every administration, as soon as you walk in the zone, there are things hes not going to get. John boehner warning there, but the big one, circle september 11th. That is when the money runs out for the federal government the president wants to get a resolution to keep that open. Boehner and others warning he may not get that. That would be a big political problem for both sides im told there is a split among the president s advisors. Some saying wait until after budge writ negotiations. Others saying go forward next week, as soon as he gets back here, and get this done. Ed, thank you. Constitutional lawyer jonathan turley, a liberal
