*The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress* Yup. That means he gets to write the regulations about how the executive branch will accomplish that. You can do things like saying, "We don't have the manpower to find all undocumented people, so save the Dreamer kids for last." For instance, Ike did this... Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code defines tax-exempt social welfare groups like this: Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare. In 1959, under the administration of Dwight Eisenhower, the meaning of this section was changed dramatically when the IRS decided the word “exclusively” could, in effect, be read as “primarily.” msnbc.com They also defined “primarily” as 51%.

<Apparently, you don't understand how the federal gov't works. Its true that Congress has some oversight of the federal bureaucracy but the majority of the oversight is to be performed by the president's cabinet.<

LOL!! Gee.. I must have missed that day in Government Class in High School....
Let's see what the White House Web Site has to say about this...
http://www.whitehouse.gov/our-government/executive-branch

"The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congressand, to that end, appoints the heads of the federal agencies, including the Cabinet. The Vice President is also part of the Executive Branch, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise.

The Cabinet and independent federal agencies are responsible for the day-to-day enforcement and administration of federal laws. These departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities as widely divergent as those of the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency, the Social Security Administration and the Securities and Exchange Commission."

Hmmm.. Who should I believe.. The WhiteHose.Gov website.. Or Internet Message Board Poster.. Mr. Tejek¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
