@parados,
EO or EA (executive authority), Obama is doing something he can't legally do. The President can't grant SS cards or allow illegals to work in the US, the most he can do, he has already done. He changed deportation standards in his previous EO or EA, which he is allowed to do. Granting ID cards and work permissions is creating law.
It doesn't matter what he or you call it, he over stepped his legal power. A judge recognized this and put his orders on hold.
