Where they? Because those votes were as Obama as President.

Yes, by any means dismissing the outcome of a direct democratic vote by the sovereign people of the UK would be unconstitutional . The only way that it could be done is --- Leave the EU in accordance with the outcome of the referendum - then call another referendum to rejoin. Anything else would be unconstitutional.

In America perhaps - you know your own constitution - but not in the UK - you obviously do not know or understand our constitution.
