Are There Any Parts of Obamacare the President Can't Suspend?

From the Weekly Standard:
In the past year, President Obama has unilaterally suspended various parts of the Affordable Care Act whenever it's been politically convenient to do so. ..................

All of the delays have led critics of the law to ask some obvious questions: If the Obama administration can suspend the individual mandate for people who had their plans canceled, couldn't the next president suspend the mandate for everyone? Better yet, couldn't the next president suspend the entire law?
The Weekly Standard asked three Democrat Senators that same question, Tim Kaine of Virginia; Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, a former state attorney general, and Bob Casey, of Pennsylvania. The article finishes with this thought.
If a Republican wins the presidency in 2016, Democrats won't need to waste much time speculating about what he will try to do to Obamacare. But they will need to come up with some arguments about why it's illegal.
Boom!
