President Obama has issued an executive order requiring cost-free (to the patient) coverage of birth control and breast pumps, to begin.....in the beginning of 2013. Now apart from the basic pandering to his base, and transparent hiding of the costs of his decision until he's hopefully lost his reelection bid, since when does the President get to make these calls? Did Article 1 of the Constitution begin to allocate the right to legislate to the President while I wasn't watching?
Let's check it out. Nope, legislation still belongs to Congress. And yes, along with multiple cases of contempt of court, mis-allocation of TARP funds contrary to law, and other factors, the case is growing that Congress needs to start reviewing another of its powers; that of Impeachment.
