Typical Liberal ideology. Your solution is that Obama should be given the power of 'line item vetoes' whether or not it is legal or even Constitutional. The Supreme Court previously ruled it UnConstitutional - but you want Obama to have 'line item veto' powers to make changes before The Court declares what he did as illegal.
Much like Obama's Presidency - it doesn't matter to Liberals whether or not Obama legally qualifies to be President - just as long as he he gets his liberal agenda passed:

"What's going on? "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," said Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. "This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before."

Things. Now we know what they are. The markets' recent precipitous decline is a reaction not just to the absence of any plausible bank rescue plan, but also to the suspicion that Obama sees the continuing financial crisis as usefully creating the psychological conditions -- the sense of crisis bordering on fear-itself panic -- for enacting his "Big Bang" agenda to federalize and/or socialize health care, education and energy, the commanding heights of post-industrial society.

Clever politics, but intellectually dishonest to the core. Health, education and energy -- worthy and weighty as they may be -- are not the cause of our financial collapse. And they are not the cure. The fraudulent claim that they are both cause and cure is the rhetorical device by which an ambitious president intends to enact the most radical agenda of social transformation seen in our lifetime."
