With apologies to the original Superman TV show…
Given what’s happened to the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment in recent years, and considering what the President would like to do to the Second Amendment, let’s enjoy some humor.
Faster than a writ of habeas corpus! More powerful than the Tenth Amendment! Able to leap the enumerated powers clause in a single bound! (“Look! Up in the sky!” “It’s a bird!” “It’s a plane!” “It’s SuperPresident!”)… Yes, it’s SuperPresident … strange visitor from corrupt Chicago, who came to Washington with powers and hubris far beyond those of the Founding Fathers! SuperPresident … who can change the course of the Constitution, bend the Bill of Rights in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Barack Obama, mild-mannered uniter who stops the rise of the oceans and heals the planet, fights a never-ending battle for redistribution, statism, and the French way! And now, another exciting episode, in The Adventures of SuperPresident!
And look what SuperPresident is doing now!
In the interests of full disclosure, I can’t take credit for the image, which showed up in my inbox. But I did concoct the parody of the opening of the Superman show, so I’ll take 10 percent credit for any humor in this post.
What isn’t funny, though, is how far we’ve drifted from the system created by our Founding Fathers.
Says “Congress shall make no law…” Doesn’t put any restrictions onthe laws the the president makes at all.
It’s a winner! Great cartoon and a clever bit to go along with it.

Dan as usual I found your read yesterday funny but more important thought provoking, I added some facts about his lordships professorship, when and why it was so designated, added a superman flying .gif and of course a great you tube of the Platters “Oh Yes I’m the Great Pretender.

Are you serious? If you read the Constitution you’d know that only congress has the power to make laws, The president cannot make laws.
Yo Dan,
Enjoyed your insight. The cartoon shows the Bill of Rights as ARTICLES, however in the Constitution, they are listed as Amendments.
