Delusional, or tyrannical?

Obama ad-Dajjal seems to think that he has executive powers which allow him to infringe upon our constitutional right to keep and bear arms:


Obviously he and his minions have never read the US Constitution. Here is its enumeration of his executive powers, in full:

US Constitution, Article II

Section 2

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he 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: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

Section 3

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Neither of these two sections gives him any authority whatsoever over the peoples' firearms. He can command the militia when they are called up in the service of the US, but that is all. As Commander-in-Chief, he could turn the military against us to take our guns, but I think that would be a VERY BAD idea.

He is on a frequent basis usurping and attempting to usurp powers reserved to the people and to the Congress. Congress should take immediate steps to either rein in this usurper or to remove him from office. Should they fail to do so, this military dictatorship of his will soon degenerate into real tyranny.
