We all know how a bill becomes a law, but I was under the impression that once the law passes both houses and signed by the POTUS, it IS LAW as written in that document ---------period!
I guess my question is that if the POTUS does not then execute that law as written or attempts to change that law, then has he broken his sworn oath of office and can then be held accountable? Didn't he swear to uphold the laws of the USA, especially the ones he signed himself?
Well, my point is that Obamacare evidently has a series of dates and specific clauses where the law "shall" be in effect - no matter what. If those dates are ignored (for instance) or changed, can that then be grounds for dismissing that law altogether or suing the govt over those changes? After instituted, can the executive then ignore the details of a law wo going back for congressional approval? I didn't think so, but again, I'm not a constitutional lawyer.
Anyone know?
