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.
BUFFA GOT TO GO..
What a $#%&!@*en bastard he is!!!!
such a dick he needs to be put in jail & throw the key away
Thanks GOP for this and if Obamas administration had any sense that would back you to because he is weak band our country needs to be a power house not a chicken coop
It is time to replace him.
Make a public Display of him .He needs a new Necktie.
Odamna commits Malfeasance of Office just by showing up for work each day and Misfeasance of Office every time he puts his mighty executive pen to paper.. What I don’t understand is why he has not been impeached by Congress. Oh, that’s right. The Senate is controlled by DamocRats and there’s no way in Hell that they would convict him no matter what he has or hasn’t done..
More laws are not the answer. They don’t even follow the laws that are in currently in place.
THAT’S OK, CONGRESS CAN OVER-RIDE THE VETO…
He’s gonna look good in orange!
