Can Obama declare a state of emergency and just pass what needs to be passed?

Disclaimer: I don’t care about politics. If it was up to me, all lobbyists would be thrown in jail immediately and any politician who didn’t deliver what he/she promised would face legal action and would never work in the government again.

Because of what is going on in the economy, and the country and the budget/deficit, I was wondering if Obama could overrule policies and law and attempt to fix what is happening in the country.

I ask you to please keep this ‘party free’ I don’t care if you think John Boehner is evil or not, or that spending billions of dollars a day to murder people instead of the education system is illogical.
