Can you say hypocrisy?
November 2014: In the days after President Barack Obama unveiled his plans to use executive power to unilaterally change immigration policy, “Fox & Friends” consulted Donald J. Trump for his opinion.
The hosts asked, What should the Republicans do about it? Should Obama be impeached?
Trump said that Obama couldn’t make a deal — and so “now he has to use executive action, and this is a very, very dangerous thing that should be overridden easily by the Supreme Court.”
He added: “We’re looking now at a situation that should absolutely not pass muster in terms of constitutionality” and argued that Obama “certainly could be impeached” for it.

Speaking on a Republican Governors Association panel in 2014, Pence attacked the idea of using presidential powers to act unilaterally in the face of congressional opposition.
The then governor of Indiana said that "barnstorming around the country defending" such measures was "not leadership."
Leadership, he argued, came with negotiating and finding "common ground."
Pence said Obama's order was a "profound mistake" and said he didn't believe that the president should be able to "overturn American immigration law with the stroke of a pen."
