‘Dangerous’ president believes he can disregard any other branch of govt.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told WND, “President Obama is demonstrating a real distaste for democracy.”
He made the comment following a Senate hearing into Obama’s executive amnesty on Thursday, which began with Cruz effectively calling the president an “emperor.”
The senator, who chaired the subcommittee hearing, began by noting Obama himself had admitted 22 times that he had no legal authority to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants.
Cruz quoted the president’s own words on the subject, when Obama had declared, “I am not an emperor.”
Sadly, the senator noted, things changed after the November election, when, somehow, “He achieved the power of an emperor.”
Following an exchange with a witness who supported the legality of Obama’s executive amnesty, WND asked Cruz if he had been persuaded there were no limits on presidential power.
“I’m persuaded that’s the consequence of the president’s theory,” replied Cruz. “And I think it is profoundly dangerous to the Constitution and individual liberties.”
