Attorneys General Letter to HHS Secretary
The Obama administration has arbitrarily changed the law as passed in 2010 on numerous occasions. The attorneys general from several states are challenging those changes in a letter, to be followed by a law suit. They claim the president has no authority to change a law without going back to congress.
Imagine if the following occurred at a basketball game. Before the opening tip of the game the officials told both teams that they were not going to call fouls on the home team until the second half, but all fouls by the visitors would still be called. Or imagine the plate umpire telling coaches during ground rules that all pitches thrown by the home team pitcher through the first 4 innings would be called strikes.
That is the same as what is currently happening with changes to the law for business exemptions to mandates, congressional subsidies, and many other changes to the law made by the Obama administration.
The constitution is still the document authority for all things involving the US government, including the president. Laws are passed by congress, signed or vetoed by the president, and subsequently enforced by the executive branch. The oath of office mandates the president faithfully execute the laws, which means he has no authority to arbitrarily change law, make exemptions or exceptions, or ignore those laws.
