With immigration reform dominating the headlines, President Obama spoke with both Telemundo and Univision today in a joint interview. The interview covered a number of topics, including gun control, but when asked why he wasn’t taking the same degree of executive action on immigration as he was guns, his answer was, “I’m not a king.”

He might not be a king, but he’s certainly something more than just president, right?
I heard he is actually an emperor “@IsaacDovere: Obama on delayed agenda: "I'm not a king."”
