    I don't know if they can do that, but they can de-fund Mooch's vacation budget.

    Because ICE, et al, don't work for Congress. If it does obviously violate a law or the Constitution then they can immediately seek a suit to stop it. The problem IMO will be if the EO follows existing laws passed by Congress which is what usually happens.

    The king controls ICE.. KING OBAMA controls all three branches it seems by how he is acting and what he is doing..
    What he does now is play the I do what I want until any of you cowards dare to hit me game.

    It doesn't.

    The current laws passed by Congress (and signed by President) say that any non-citizen from a foreign country who is in the US without a visa, must leave.

    Tonight Obama will rule that many foreigners (millions?) who are in the country without a visa, may stay.

    If reports are correct, tonight he will issue an EO that flatly violates US law.

    Uh huh. My guess? The legal challenges will be on thin ice. "May stay" and "Will not deport" are not the same thing... but we'll see.
