U.S. President Barack Obama's unilateral decision to grant legal status to millions of illegal immigrants in November 2013 was an outstanding violation of the principle of rule of law. As he himself admitted, he did not have the legal authority to make this decision because, "I'm the president of the United States. I’m not the emperor of the United States."<ref>[http://www.westernjournalism.com/obama-ends-rule-law-declares-emperor/#cawHm3rcjfPMuoxE.97 Obama Ends Rule Of Law, Declares Himself Emperor]</ref> This refers to the ''legibus solutus'' doctrine, according to which the Roman emperors were above the law.
