In urging President Obama to lift the US embargo on Cuba, Communist dictator Cuban President Raul Castro has said that the US Congress should simply be bypassed.
“Though the measures of the embargo have become law, the president of the United States can change the enforcement thereof under his Executive Branch powers,” Castro said during a press conference Wednesday.
“We propose to the United States government to take mutual measures for the improvement of our bilateral climate and move forward toward normalization of ties between our countries.” Castro noted.
Of course, in reality Obama cannot legally change laws by himself. As Obama has noted himself many many times, he is not a King.
As confirmed this week, Obama is avoiding potential blowback from endless executive action, by issuing his directives as “memoranda” rather than executive orders.
