Against Obama’s ‘Imperial Presidency’: House Passes ‘Enforce The Law’ Act

This is just plain flat out sad that our elected representatives feel the need to pass legislation in order to get the President to follow and properly enforce the laws that are passed by congress. Time and time again President Obama has circumvented or completely ignored laws as has the rest of his administration. It is nice to see that they are trying to combat his takeover as dictator of our country although this new bill would never make it through our corrupt senate nor would the President ever actually sign it into law as it would allow some more recourse for his illegal actions. The President has also already came out and said that he would veto this piece of legislation.

The House of Representatives passed the “Enforce the Law Act” Wednesday, a bill designed to push back against the numerous unilateral moves the Obama administration has used to circumvent the law.

Five Democrats joined Republicans in passing the bill by a 233 to 181 vote.

H.R. 4138, sponsored by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), would authorize the House or Senate to sue the executive branch for not enforcing laws and provide an expedited process through federal district courts. The bill is one of several the House GOP is pushing to combat the “imperial presidency.”

Republicans say the legislation is necessary in light of the numerous administrative actions taken by President Barack Obama to change and selectively enforce laws, including immigration, marriage, welfare rules, and his signature legislative achievement, Obamacare.

The administration has unilaterally altered Obamacare at least 20 times. Most recently, the Wall Street Journal reported that millions have been exempted from the individual mandate due to a rule change.
