Obama must issue Social Security checks. They're mandatory, not discretionary.
The authority to issue Social Security checks is outside the scope of the president's decision-making authority.
He would be in violation of the law if he ordered them stopped. So would The Treasury Department.
The Social Security trust fund receives regular infusions from income specially withheld from paychecks for the purpose. Its income is presently in equilibrium with its outflow.
Neither the president nor the Congress can lawfully interfere with this process.
The president is a scoundrel for terrorizing Social Security recipients with his idle threats.
Don't believe it?
