Steny Hoyer...isn't he the assclown who played second fiddle to Nancy Pelosi? What self-respecting primate would do that? Is there anything more that needs to be said?

I guess it's time for "Ask an Eagle Scout". The President's power for "Amnesty" comes from Article two, section two. "And he shall have the Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment". The end.
Note, there is no mention of Congressional oversight. Note, there is no mention of Judicial oversight. Note there is no mention of format or amount.
What Obama is doing here is completely Constitutional (Surprising, honestly. Ah, even a blind squirrel will find a nut from time to time).
And before some start frothing about "But they haven't gone to court! You can't Pardon someone before they've been sentenced!", Read the quote again. This would be the "Reprieve" part of it.
Yeah, the "Pardon and Reprieve" power is like a political nuke, which is why it has been used so little in the past, lest Congress do something about that. Alas, like FDR before him, Obama doesn't care about those who follow him. As FDR ruined second terms for all following president because he HAD to be "President for Life", Obama has despoiled the "Recess" Power for all following Presidents, and is trying to destroy the Pardon power for all those who follow him.
Kind of hoping Congress isn't able to "fix" it though. Now that the safety's off, Republicans can do so much more with it then the Democrats.......

Mind, this action by Obama does mean that the Democrats are responsible for the Holocaust. FDR had the power to let the boats filled with all those poor Jewish refugees into the county. The Democrats claim he couldn't, because of "Politics", but now we know they are lying......

Steny Hoyer is the guy who punched Charles Lollar (multiple times) in the back after a town hall meeting in Saint Mary's County during the 2010 election. No mention of this was made by anyone but the local media. You can (as ol' Casey was wont to say) look it up. Oh, BTW, did I forget to mention that Steny is an old rich white guy and that Charles is a former Marine Major (who just happens to be black)?
