Ref: 'We have a Constitution': Boehner warns Obama on exec orders’

'We have a Constitution': Boehner warns Obama on exec orders | Fox News

House Speaker John Boehner issued a stern warning to President Obama ahead of Tuesday night's State of the Union address: "We have a Constitution. We abide by it. If he tries to ignore it, he's going to run into a brick wall."

The U.S. Constitution was violated as early as 1948 when a retired USAF Colonel was denied full recognition (including the Combat Infantryman badge) towards combat service during battles of Bataan and Corregidor which occurred from 7 December 1941 to 10 May 1942. (Ref: Letter by Adjutant General dated 2 June 1948).

The U.S. Constitution was violated 10 March 1952 when recommendations by General MacArthur were denied to award the Combat Infantryman badge “to those who acted as Infantry in defense of the Philippines.” (Ref: Disposition Form from Chief, Pers Actions Br. dated 10 Mar 1952).

The U.S. Constitution was violated 2012, and 2013 involving a retired Army Lt. Colonel. He was denied the Bronze Star Medal [with] the Combat Infantryman badge based on circumstances listed in guidelines dated 1944, 1945, 1948, and the Vietnam era. (References: Decisions by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records, AR20110020157 dated 12 April 2012 and AR 200120011954 dated 5 February 2013).

The three examples shared represent how the military has been violating the U.S. Constitution since 1948. This involves an untold number of veterans of Bataan and Corregidor, perhaps hundreds, if not thousands.

In fact application of later policies to facts surrounding 1941/1942 events constitutes ex post facto application of law, specifically prohibited in the US Constitution by the prohibitions in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3, against bills of attainder and ex post facto laws.

Boehner couldn't issue a stern warning to a 3 year old without eliciting giggles. He lacks gravitas, whatever the **** that means. Spine, probably... like the mom in the grocery store who says "If you do that 47 more times, I shall think seriously about punishing you!" :lamo
 
Boehner is a putz, he gets rolled by a bunch of idiots, has a ton of tools at his disposal, but refuses to use them because he is too scared of pushback to do the right thing. A long string of jackasses like the current majority of RINOs in the party are exactly why I left for Libertarian party pastures.
