It continues

The White House announced the 37th unilateral modification to Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).

Such action is rank hypocrisy from the President who on October 13, 2013 said of the Act, “It Passed The House Of Representatives.  It Passed The Senate.  The Supreme Court Ruled It Constitutional … It’s The Law of the Land.  It’s Here To Stay.”

The statement, even if not intended to do so, correctly describes that laws are legislated by Congress, both the Senate and the House.  (Of course, the country should expect accuracy from a former professor of Constitutional law on how our legislative process works.)  So much for the "law of the land," enacted into law by Congress, when the one individual specifically required to enforce it believes he can unilaterally modify it.

It is not a matter of which law.  Nor does is it matter of from which political party the individual arose.  It is a matter of duty.

It is a matter of Presidential duty to enforce the "law of the land."  Per Section 3 of Article II of the Constitution of the United States of America on the duty of the President, "he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed."  This duty is captured in the oath of office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

When the President of the United States of America violates his oath of office by summarily and unilaterally modifying "the law of the land," it tears at the essence of our constitutional government.

As I have written previously, "It can be rightfully argued that the foundation for our successful constitutional government is based upon the separation and balance of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.  This foundation is currently under attack, leaving me to ask, "When will it end?""

Sadly, it continues.
