This is a chart that was posted at Fox News yesterday. The title of the article was "Obama's Secret Power Grabs." The chart shows how the Obama Administration has by-passed Congress when Congress was not going to vote the way President Obama wanted it to vote. One of the interesting things to me is the recess appointment of Craig Becker, which will probably result in the loss of the secret ballot in union votes. Recess appointments have been used before to place people who were not confirmed in specific positions, but I don't believe a recess appointment has been used before to push through a law that Congress would not pass. If this trend continues, our democracy will be endangered. There is a 'working model' of this chart at Americans For Prosperity which explains each section as you click on its box. Please visit their website for further details.
