President Barack Obama is asking members of Congress to create jobs, overhaul immigration laws, combat climate change and more, and he’s promising to act unilaterally where possible if they won’t compromise. In last night’s State of the Union speech, Obama told Congress, “America does not stand still, and neither will I.” Obama is promoting his newly unveiled plans to boost wages for some workers and help Americans save for retirement — no action from Congress necessary. Today, Obama plans to sign a presidential memorandum creating a new retirement savings account dubbed “myRA.” The White House says it will act as a starter savings account. A pilot program will be ready by the end of 2014. Obama is also preparing to sign an executive order raising the minimum wage for workers carrying out new federal contracts to $10.10. House Speaker John Boehner is reminding Obama that his power is limited under the Constitution.
