Well technically there is no statue or provision that permits executive orders so this is going to be very interesting thing to watch. There is no were in the constitution executive orders are mentioned at all. So the justices are a bit of a pickle here. If they rule that executive orders are unconstitutional you will never see another president issue one. if they are ruled constitutional Obama wins.
If i was potus legal counsel i would be arguing that they are constitutional just to force the court to set a ruling on this once and for all.
Now if the court rules they are unconstitutional are the current executive orders that are in the books ruled null? If so oh what a mess!
On a side note dems should be thanking Boehner immigration reform will be going through very quickly now.
