Time Compares Obama’s Amnesty Executive Order To Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation Freeing The SlavesThese comments nail it for me:

Both got the same vote count in Congress...

The comparison cheapens Lincoln without elevating Obama.

Lincoln freed the slaves as a military tactic. Otherwise he would have issued the Emancipation immediately upon assuming office.

Lincoln didn't have that authority either. That's why a Constitutional amendment was required.
So, let the POSOTUS try to enforce his decree...good luck trying to get an Amendment through codifying it...
In other words: Eff you, Hussein!
