I ... the country giving speeches ... and interpreted as ... artists and people look at them what they say about his attitude towards the economy ... was put up a quote from one of the speeches in Jacksonville Florida and quote ... so why can't on my own on going back to my own I will wait for Congress and quote ... what does that kind of rhetoric mean what does it mean to say ... I'm going to act on my own when you're the president of the United States ... Wonderland Columnist Dan Henninger is here to get a broader perspective and stand ... by ... is his ... books is in states that tell you that you want a minute Ryan Bader Congress acts to my illness that unusual at the Oval office ... yet I think with this president's very unusual of Mary and me not put too fine a point on it the ... column I wrote today is in fact titled Obama is creeping authoritarianism ... and ... it's a kind of provocative word to use in the context of a presidency ... but ... I think ... Mr Obama is being very explicit about its intention to gather a lot of all work ... into the Oval office and then simply ... issue ideas to Cree's executive orders that the calm laws and regulations of the plot apply to everybody ... and doing this aam unprecedented scale ... now this is an idea that dates all the way back to Woodrow Wilson Rd will Woodrow Wilson wrote his doctoral thesis ... on the problems of Congressional Government which he regarded as simply too slow and too resistant to change ... and progress is never sense of wanting to ... suppress Congress and gather power inside an administrative state led by a president ... and the point I'd try to make is ... that this is actually on the old the website of the of the White House ... we have a system of checks and balances that the funders created in the idea was a congressman who was ... executive implemented them an AG just Jerry decided whether there were constitutional attendance at Sunday the partisans imbalance Yeh that's something all Americans of any political stripe should care about ... what's an example of this to make the tangible for people ... in the dream Act ... well the dream Act was implemented by the president is provisions were implemented despite the fact that it doesn't exist Congress did not pass the dream Act it was a proposal ... and on another example of course is the ... extension of ... the employer mandate that the way for a year ... it's written into the Affordable Care Act that that is supposed to begin ... this January first if ... President Obama ... want to delay it for a year he should've gone to Congress who wrote the law and ask them for an extension instead he didnt on his own ... and this is the sort of exercise of presidential authority that I think people should be very very troubled about it and when I hear checks and balances I think of of Washington in the three branches of government but is there also is ... federalism issues here ... when you concentrate power in Washington state's ... you lose some of their authority to ... you know I mean what a great that beats of the American system is that you have the federal state and the independent states out there ... and ... if the president issues orders say in the area of climate change in his new EPA director Gina McCarthy has said explicitly in last few days I've been told by the president to do it white or not we're doing at ... then those orders those ... regulations have to be adhered to by all fifty states ... and you whether you're in with the Labor Department or the EPA ... are you become basically merely an enforcer for Washington's rules and regulations ... rather than that ... the original idea of that I think that ponders the proposed ... for the independence of the fifty states den we talked about present Obama is predecessors who had this instinct to centralize power in the executive branch ... the only name Democratic presidents ... says something about liberalism or ... Democratic Party today that they instinctively we use them for its ... this kind of concentration of power or do you see that also ... an instant also on the Republican party ... look very I'm not talking about ink on a secret plan or conspiracy or ... the progressive is and the left in United States at least for seventy five years have argued in article after our an unlawful and law journal articles ... that ... Congress is simply too slow and too resistant to change and they would prefer that more ... four G be invested in the executive branch something they called the administrative state ... and then the good things can happen for the American people ... that's the argument but that's not the system the bombing fathers created if they want Parliament recess dumped from an article system they would've gotten that direct model like ... this one makes it very difficult the past why will it that you abandon the last where does this leave the present is told the story wants to go as planned out my column today ... what's the endgame ... well the endgame is that he will do what you'll do it through agencies like Embraer and borrow Protection Agency the Labor Department and concern for consumer protection bureau off um last ... Congress begins the standoff ... The Republicans stand up in recess ... by argue that they should make it a voting issue a nation in nice France is this ... contested Senate elections in twenty fourteen ... Crest most Democratic senators to say whether they explicitly support ... taking the executive branch in this direction because is ... no federal judge Michael McConnell did a piece for saying it's very difficult to sue the president and stop this through the courts much of standing to sue won one of these issues ... but unless the bully Pope was using this raises a public issue ... were to wake up three years from now and find out ... it's a done deal now we also do educated public that that's that that is a subject for another day ...
