Congressman James Lankford issued the following statement today after he voted in favor of H.R. 5759, the Executive Amnesty Prevention Act of 2014, which opposes President Obama’s executive action on immigration:
“The President announced blanket amnesty right before Thanksgiving and indicated his Administration would ignore clear, American law. The President took an oath to ‘faithfully execute the law,’ not pick and choose which law he likes and which law he does not like. This is a destructive precedent that must be addressed.
“Today, the House responded to the President with a bill from the American people and a message to the Judicial Branch, the arbiter of disputes between the Legislative and Executive Branches, that we do not approve of the President’s executive inaction. This is the first of several steps to prevent this President and future presidents from failing to execute the laws of the United States.”
Strong words, strong leadership.
So now we have a majority of Republicans in the House and Senate. Historical numbers, no less. The American people have sent a clear message they want this POTUS stopped. Anyone care to place your bet on how quickly they will fold like a house of cards and capitulate to Obama and the Dems?
