In my latest Washington Examiner column I argued that Barack Obama’s delay of the Obamacare employer mandate and refusal to verify eligibility for Obamacare subsidies amounted to a failure to obey the Constitution’s command that the president “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” There are good historical reasons, rooted in England’s Glorious Revolution of 1688-89, to believe that the Framers of the Constitution intended those words to be a duty, not a suggestion.

I also suggested that Obama’s actions depleted his political capital and added, “It erodes the president’s political capital. House Republicans may block an immigration bill because they fear Obama would not enforce its border security provisions.”
