Democrats are urging the President to ignore the law and do as he pleases.
Here's a list of laws he's already broken. Here's another.
Granted, many of the examples are up for interpretation, (for example voter fraud or the Rezko deal are merely allegations). Others, however are more clear:
The "Recess" Appointment may or may not have been illegal, but it was unprecedented and clearly not the traditional use of the power.
The inability to present a budget according to the law. (This goes for the Senate, too)
The decision to not enforce laws enacted by Congress. Immigration. Defense of Marriage Act.
Clearly, President Obama has no problem dancing on the edge of some laws (and completely ignoring others) to accomplish his goals, which I still haven't discerned.
