Ron Paul Comments on Obama ‘Recess’ Appointments

Dr. Paul couldn't have said it any better:

“It is disappointing that a former constitutional law professor does not understand that the President is not a dictator or a king who can simply ignore the Constitution whenever he feels frustrated by the system of checks and balances wisely put in place by our Founders.

“I have opposed unconstitutional power grabs by Presidents of both parties throughout my Congressional career, and this consistency leaves me as the only Republican candidate with the credibility and the record to challenge President Obama on his continuous overstepping of his constitutional boundaries.

“If the President insists on behaving in such a cavalier manner with regard to requirements set forth by the Constitution, then action by Congress may become necessary to rein in his flagrant contempt for the rules.”

It is truly amazing that the President decided to circumvent the Senate, which is controlled by his own party! Considering that the Senate is not in recess, the President has absolutely no constitutional authority to make these so-called "recess" appointments. This is the action of a man who considers himself king... an imperial ruler over the ignorant masses. In most constitutional monarchies, the king wouldn't dare to circumvent parliament in this way.

Unfortunately, most Americans seem too ignorant of Article 2 of the Constitution to know the goddamned difference.
