Click here: Emails Reveal Obama Admin Shut Down WW II Memorial Knowing Vets Were Coming

Click here: More than 600 business organizations, from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to Apple to McDonald’s, have sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner pressing him to move on immigration legislation this year.

Jonathan Turley, professor of public interest law at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., said the legislative branch of the U.S. government is in danger of becoming irrelevant in the face of continued executive overreach.

“My view [is] that the president, has in fact, exceeded his authority in a way that is creating a destabilizing influence in a three branch system,” Turley said. “I want to emphasize, of course, this problem didn’t begin with President Obama, I was critical of his predecessor President Bush as well, but the rate at which executive power has been concentrated in our system is accelerating. And frankly, I am very alarmed by the implications of that aggregation of power.”
