New Bill (S.679) grants Obama power to be KING

While all of America is distracted and focused on the death of Osama bin Laden, our President and his minions have been fast at work laying the groundwork for S. 679: Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011 to speed through the Senate and then make its way into the House and then to the President to sign.

Yes, Obama’s other hand is quickly forming into a dictatorial fist that is about to smash our Constitution.

As you will recall, the beginning of the end of liberty in Rome commenced with Augustus Caesar who compromised the authority of the Senate through the force of arms and basically the Senate became a facade.


America is poised with this proposed bill, to morph immediately from a Republic into an empire with the privileged eunuchs of the Senate as window dressing and a dictator – the first American Caesar – at the country’s helm.

And leading the Socialist Progressive charge is elitist Chuck Schumer (D-NY). No big surprise there. Schumer is an elitist Marxist and a first class progressive who hates America almost as much as he loves power. He introduced S. 679 on March 30th, 2011. He was joined by a gaggle of progressives from the left and the right.

This is something I have been warning Americans about for a long time. If we are to survive as a nation, we must rid ourselves of ALL progressives or our nation is doomed and freedom will be swept into the dustbin of history.

Schumer’s esteemed list of constitutional traitors is as follows:

* Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN)

* Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)

* Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)

* Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA)

* Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE)

* Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)

* Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL)

* Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE)

* Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ)

* Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT)

* Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN)

* Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

* Sen. John Reed (D-RI)

* Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)

* Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

From The Heritage Foundation, here is a succinct explanation of the bill:

The bill reduces the number of presidential appointments that require the consent of the Senate and establishes within the executive branch a Working Group on Streamlining Paperwork for Executive Nominations.

Individuals nominated to senior executive offices suffer slow and detailed background investigations and mounds of investigative paperwork before a President sends their nominations to the Senate. After nomination, many nominees suffer time-consuming inaction or time-consuming and excruciating action as the Senate proceeds (or does not) with consideration of the nomination.

The sponsors of S. 679 have identified a valid problem, but proposed the wrong solution. Congress must not enact S. 679.

In essence Obama plans to take on the powers to make appointments to high government office unilateraly without the approval of the American people..He wants to give the office of the President the sole power to appoint people to powerful controlling positions of his choosing within our government. Obama plans to be free to do this without the approval of the U.S. Senate or the American People.......

Senate approval of such positions is mandated by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 2 under the "Appointments Clause":

… shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: This bill will do away with the checks and balances that separate an American form of government from those such as Venezuela and Brazil .

Already we have power mongers such as Cass Sunstein our Regulatory Czar (more commonly known as the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and more aptly titled the Office of Government Propaganda) running amok across the US using agencies such as the EPA as a weapon of regulation and control.

There is not a single area in our country that Sunstein does not have his claws sunk deep into. It should scare the crap out of all Americans, but all I hear are crickets and the Silence of Lambs as their capitulation seals our fate as surely as the thunderous applause of approval – so ends the American Republic.

More from The Heritage Foundation:

When the delegates of the states gathered in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787 and wrote the Constitution, they distributed the powers of the federal government among two Houses of Congress, a President, and a judiciary, and required in many cases that two of them work together to exercise a particular constitutional power.

That separation of powers protects the liberties of the American people by preventing any one officer of the government from aggregating too much power. The Framers of the Constitution did not give the President the Regal power to appoint the senior officers of the government by himself without Senate consent .

Instead, they allowed the President to name an individual for a senior office, but then required the President to obtain the Senate’s consent before appointing the individual to office. Thus, they required the cooperation of the President and the Senate to put someone in high office.

I know Americans have not forgotten about Obama’s string of Czars. Czars that he was supposed to downsize or get rid of. Czars, which in my personal viewpoint, were and still are illegal under the Constitution. But progressives never go away, they just shift… As has done so many of Obama’s Czars.

With this sweeping bill, over 200 positions will no longer require Senate approval. Obama will dictate who are his powerful lieutenants and who will control America. The Senate will merely be a sham to parrot Obama’s dictates. With this bill, checks and balances will be effectively nullified.

What does that portend you say? One day, your right to own a gun will be gone, just regulated, not legislated away. Businesses will be nationalized even more than they are now. Heavy regulation will ensue concerning communications and the Internet.

Many, many private businesses will whither and die. You will be told what and how much to eat – food and gas rationing will become the norm. Poverty and squalor will become equal for all as wealth is redistributed to other nations. If there are elections, they will be a joke and pointless. There will be a few powerful elite’s and then the masses. Guess which camp Liberty loving Americans will be in?
Our best hope at this juncture is that this abomination (BILL S.689) will be stopped in the House. In the interim we must weed out the Socialist Progressives and we must win in 2012.

This country is not able to survive another four years of socialist/progressive policies.
