Brown: President Will Use Exec Power If Immigration Reform Fails In House
 
I have to say this is probably one of the most interesting articles thus far.
Quote:
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) said that he believes that President Obama will be more liberal with his use of executive power in his second term Thursday evening on MSNBC:

RACHEL MADDOW: Do you think immigration and gun reform, which the president has put forward as his temporal first priorities for this first term, that they can move in the Senate?

SHERROD BROWN: Well, I think immigration can move in the Senate. A number of these, because we have a way sometimes of getting over the 60 votes or speeding up the process, and the House still doesn’t move on it, so I think perhaps immigration gets through. I feel good about it getting through the Senate. If it doesn’t get through the House, the president is going to use the powers that he has. It’s not ever as good as to invoke executive power as it is Congress passing something, but it’s going to be pretty hard, and there will be a lot of public pressure on Boehner but I think the president is going to use the bully pulpit the next four years. The Republicans will say he is out campaigning, but I think he is going to be out pushing his agenda and he needs to go over the heads of the Republicans in the Senate and House to do it. So I;m pretty optimistic, I think this will be a pretty activist presidency, more so than it was in the first term.
Deferred action for every undocumneted individual? The President definitely has the ability to do so IF Republicans fail to deliver on reform in the House and I think he should do so.

It's not the best option, but at least our families won't have to live in fear.

That would seriously pissed a lot of people in this country. But then even, Bush used his power to send this country into Iraq.

I doubt it. If rep do not go alone with CIR, there will be no more rep presidents, and a democrat will never do that.

Democrats and Rupublicans dont want to deal with immigration reform, they win elections by playing games with the issue. just take a look to what they did with the "filibuster reform", they agreed to do nothing and leave it as is. This is what Senator Herry Reid said "I’m not personally, at this stage, ready to get rid of the 60-vote stage, ready to get rid of the 60-vote threshold threshold". Both parties get better rewards by doing nothing with immigration. Although, in my opinion, they might be forced to do something during the 2016 Presidential Election.
Also i think that President Obama will use some his executive power to deal with parts of the immigration problem during his second term, just like he did with the gun control issue.
