The U.S. Constitution has no Teeth

 

"As the Obama Administration works around the Constitution and performs thousands of acts that are in direct defiance of constitutional law and established legislative practice, the emerging issue is that it does not appear to be a crime to defy the Constitution.

 

 

The Constitution was written by men who expected presidents to adhere to the general rules, but it turns out that President Obama has sought to expose a weakness in the Constitution; that the Constitution only requires voluntary cooperation. Since in his view he is not breaking any laws -- only the Constitution -- he is taking advantage of the fact that the Constitution has no teeth, no enforcement mechanism, other than the integrity of the people who hold positions in government. It cannot be argued that the president does not understand the Constitution since he taught Constitutional Law at the U. of Chicago Law School, one of the nation's best. 

 

 

This is a manifestation of President Obama's autocratic style of rule. He clearly does not feel any compulsion to obey the guidelines of the Constitution or the institution of the House. In the final analysis President Obama's willingness to flout both the Constitution and the standard procedures of legislation are not caused by any flaws in the nature of the Constitution. Rather, President Obama is making his own choices and taking advantage of the Constitution's reliance on a president who has respect for the Constitution and the integrity to adhere to tradition."
