Sen. Manchin: Obama ‘Did Not Do Enough as an Executive’ To Get Immigration Reform Enacted

‘You have to work with the legislative branch of government’

MANCHIN: "--If you want a vote on repealing the president's -- which I would vote for. I know that runs amok with some Democrat, but I believe he did overstep. I believe he could have worked a little more." 
MELBER: "Just so we understand you, when you say overstepped and that you would vote differently there, are you saying it was a bad idea by President Obama, or are you saying that he broke the law, that this was an illegal act?" 
MANCHIN: "I just don't think he did enough as an executive. We got setbacks all the time being the executive of our states or the executive of this country. You have to work with the legislative branch of government. You have got to make it work. And that takes an awful lot of work and effort. I think more could have been done from the White House, period."
