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.
Everybody that votes for a Dumocrat for Congress or Senate is voting to keep Bad Odor in office.
How much longer do we have to put up with this traitor, criminal and law breaker.. If it was any of us we would have been put in jail a long time ago so why is he still in the White House breaking the law.
Fire Him, and then Impeach!
Actually this is kind of funny in a tragic way! The constitution already covers this and anyone who violates that constitution is supposed to be processed according to that law for it so why do we need special laws that make laws that already exist be enforced according to the law? And of course the one who is breaking all the laws is going to veto it as he doesn’t respect the laws or the constitution in the first place. I certainly hope that the people vote all those democrat senators of the democrat majority that is currently ruling over the senate and blatantly ignoring the requirements of the constitutional laws out of office so justice may be served and law and order can return to our government. Obama, his administration, and the democrat majority in the senate are collectively breaking the constitutional laws. They are the ones who are protecting the president who is clearly, boldly, and unlawfully breaking the laws and who is required to be impeachment for and they simply refuse to do their duty, obey the laws, or keep their oaths of office and need to be removed from office for it.
Well put, Albert.
dumb $#%&!@*s don’t realize it’s going to hit the lawmen who support the 2nd amendment hard.
basic US legal history – a writ of mandamus (sp?) = requires execution of a lawful act, even by a predecessor administration – was the case that enshrined judicial review – also, there are many bills & laws that require the Executive to execute or be succeptable to impeachment – see impeachment of Pres Andrew Johnson post Civil War
=-) Hi
We better wake up as this is nothing short of DICTATORSHIP !!!!
Obama should be tried for treason !!!!!!
