The GOP has drafted bill that would allow legislators to take administration officials to court if they don’t enforce laws, according to a White House statement.
GOP legislators state they are pushing the bill through the House because Obama has repeatedly declined to enforce laws he doesn’t like. Of course, Obama doesn’t want to stop breaking the law and will veto.
The House bill is titled “the Faithful Execution of the Law Act” and is expected to pass Wednesday, along with a companion bill, titled “Enforce the Law Act.”
President Barack Obama would veto a GOP-drafted bill that would allow legislators to take agency officials to court if they don’t enforce laws, according to a White House statement.
The GOP is pushing the bill through the House because Obama has repeatedly declined to enforce laws he doesn’t like, say GOP legislators.
“President Obama has refused to enforce those parts of our nation’s immigration laws that are not to his political liking, has waived portions of our welfare laws, has stretched our environmental laws to accommodate his policy objectives, and has waived testing accountability provisions required under the ‘No Child Left Behind’ education law,” according to Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the chairman of the House judiciary committee.
For example, in June 2012, Obama created a temporary mini-amnesty for at least 500,000 younger illegal immigrants. The act boosted his election-day support among Hispanics, but made it more difficult for young Americans to find jobs.
“Political appointees at the Justice Department have announced that rather than work with Congress to amend the federal criminal code, they will simply stop prosecuting low-level drug offenders under mandatory minimum sentencing laws,” said Goodlatte in a Fox News op-ed.
“And now that his signature health care law has not been working and revealed his empty promises, President Obama has changed that law unilaterally over 20 times,” Goodlatte added.
The House bill is titled “the Faithful Execution of the Law Act.”
The House is expected to pass the bill Wednesday, along with a companion bill, titled “ENFORCE the Law Act.”
The bills are expected to be blocked by the Democrat-controlled Senate.
But the veto threat will help minimize the number of Democrats who will support the GOP bills.
Without many Democratic votes, the White House and its allies will try to dismiss the bills as partisan.
White House officials said they oppose the measure because it creates a paperwork burden for them.
Send him back to his home country and friend
What a novel idea, the Executive branch of government has to enforce the laws passed by Congress. No wonder Obama wants to veto it. After all, we can’t expect him or his regime to enforce laws he does not agree with, can we???
Impeach him
This is a sure fire way for the Whole World to see that he refuses to do his job. Fine, let him Veto it, and then go for impeachment!!!
That means HE will have to resign as a fraud and head to prison. You REALLY THINK he’s going to do that ????
He’s getting away with it so far, will they show action where there mouth is???
Can’t wait to hear about this on CNN or NBC. Still waiting. Waaaaiting. Waiting some more.
2/3rds majority would pass it anyway
no doubt then he would have to live with the laws and maybe be impeached, prosecuted and put away where he belongs….
Obama is a corrupt fraudulent criminal!!!!
Presidential elections are not popularity contests and we need to stop treating them as such. The Constitutional “natural born citizen” eligibility criteria was put there by our forefathers to protect us from being “presided over” by and (most importantly) our military commanded by an individual with potentially dual allegiances. Our abandonment of the “natural born citizen” criteria has resulted in precisely the dire consequences our forefathers foresaw, and “Exhibit A” of those dire consequences currently ILLEGALLY OCCUPIES the Oval Office, has little or no allegiance to America, and goes by the names Barry Soetoro aka Barack Soebarkah aka Harrison Bounel aka Barack Hussein Obama.
OBAMA IS NOT ELIGIBLE!!! Obama is a USURPER who (aided and abetted by political and media powers-that-be) has perpetrated the biggest hoax against American citizens in the history of our nation! Anything Obama says, signs or does including laws, executive orders and bills are NULL and VOID because Obama is legally NOT the President! We have NOT had a legal President since 2008! When a child inherits the citizenship of their father, they become a natural-born citizen of the nation their father belongs regardless of where they might be born. It should be pointed out that citizenship through descent of the father was recognized by U.S. Naturalization law whereby children became citizens themselves as soon as their father had become a naturalized citizen, or were born in another country to a citizen father. BOTH PARENTS must have been U.S. CITIZENS AT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH in order for a Presidential hopeful to qualify as a “natural born citizen” under our U.S. Constitution!! Natural born” is VERY different from any other category of citizenship, i.e. “native born”, “naturalized”, or “citizen by statute”.
Yes, birth is prima facie evidence of citizenship, but only the citizenship of the nation the father is a member.
Obama should be ARRESTED! He is UNIMPEACHABLE because he is NOT LEGALLY PRESIDENT no matter how many votes he got. http://www.quowarranto.info/
