Obamacare mandate is whatever Obama -- or any future president -- says it is

The Washington Examiner reports:

there is simply no limiting principle to Obama’s chosen legal justification for the employer-mandate delay. If one year, why not two? If two years, why not four? If the employer mandate can be delayed, why not the individual mandate.

Nothing in 7805(a) in any way limits the president’s discretion, so, by using that as his sole legal justification, Obama is enabling himself and any future president to rewrite the law at will with no input from Congress.

As any honest constitutional lawyer would tell you, that is not right.

Just a reminder to all ObamaCare supporters: a future President may define full time workers as working 168 hours a week. Because 30 hours is just as moronic as 168 hours.
