Not when it means subverting the Constitution. There are clear limits to Presidential authority. Unfortunately, only this President thinks he's above the Constitution and able to do whatever he wants.
What's Congress doing which is "unreasonable?" Seriously. I know you mean Republicans when you say Congress is acting "unreasonably," so tell me what they've done which is "unreasonable" and hasn't been done by every Congress (Democrats included) since the Founding Fathers?

The implication is it's Republicans fault, but it's not. The President and Democrats are a big reason as well. How is it Reagan was able to get things done with a Democrat Congress? obama rarely engages Congress, other than to belittle them. It's beneath obama to deal with Congress.
