Question by Dem Stranded on Broken Escalator: What part of the Constitution allows the president to get away with NOT enforcing laws?
It seems like presidents pick and choose which laws they will enforce — such as illegal immigration, pot laws in CA, etc.

I’m not saying that these are good or bad laws. I’m just curious whether, if you become president, you have the right to ignore laws you don’t like and do you get that right from the Constitution.

Example. Assume 0bamacare specifically says that illegal immigrants can’t get 0bamacare. But, 0bama decides he won’t enforce that law. Is that his right since he in supposedly President?

Seriously…..do you really think 0bama or anyone in his administration gives a second thought to the Constitution? Even Pelosi believes that as long as the Constitution doesn’t say you can’t do something….that it is still constitutional to do….
