Krauthammer: Exec Amnesty Case About Presidency Encroaching Congressional Power

BAIER: "Charles?"
KRAUTHAMMER: "Okay, the policy here is irrelevant. It is about the encroachment of the power of the president and powers that aren’t his. The irony is it’s the states. The federal government is imposing cost. You have to issue drivers licenses to previously illegal immigrants. The reason is the encroachment on Congress. As was said by the attorney who is bringing the case, the president, himself, admitted over and over again, this is outside his clout. I think this is an extremely important case. I think it will be a split. It will go back. In this case, it will be upheld. In the future, we have a case where you could have a Republican president who believes in abolishing the capital gains tax, Congress says no and he prioritizes IRS collections and says don’t collect the capital gains tax. Do exactly what Obama is doing. It will mean Congress has no role."
