Sue Obama

Some people in congress feel that The President has overstepped his authority when he changed some of the provisions in Obamacare. I don’t know whether what he did was legal or not but he is being sued by some senators but there is a problem. Some laws have provisions written into them allowing for private suits – Congress has inserted such clauses in environmental laws, for example, out of fear that a future president might be inclined to look the other way when companies pollute. This is not the case with Obamacare. The problem facing the critics of Obamacare is that nobody has the constitutional authority, or standing, to sue the president for failing to enforce a law. Before they can sue they must convince a judge that they’ve suffered a direct injury because the mammoth act hasn’t been enforced in its entirety. Thus those who want to successfully sue must wait until the entire law is fully enforced and then show that they have suffered some injury. By the time all of this happens the law will be entrenched in society and if the courts rule against The President he will withdraw his changes.
