Can Parts of American Job Act be Implemented with Use of Presidential Executive Order(s)?

America is facing an economic crisis that calls for immediate action by those in power in Washington. Some in the Republican Party are already voicing their disapproval of President Obama’s American Job Act speech by calling the same old speech. Therefore Senate Majority Leader Reid needs take the lead and introduce a version of the bill that requires congressional approval as soon as possible. The Republicans can either play politics and not let the measure reach the floor in the Senate or that they allow an up and down vote to pass the measures in the American Job Act.

In the event that the Senate and/or House of Representatives doesn’t pass the American Job Act with deliberate speed President Obama should use executive order(s) to implement portions of the Act to improve America’s economic health.
