How bad is it? Even former liberal Vermont Governor and DNC Chairman Howard Dean, recently wondered aloud whether or not the president had stepped out of bounds with his decision to rewrite Obamacare! (He was right. But Obamacare is just the very tip of a very large iceberg.)
As you might expect, many members of Congress have had enough. And that’s why the House of Representatives held a critical hearing on Obama lawlessness this week, entitled “The President’s Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws.”
Per The International Business Times:
Convinced that President Barack Obama is
writing his own laws on issues such as health insurance and immigration
reform, the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday will examine just how
much latitude the nation’s chief executive has to do so.
That’s when the committee will hear from four experts during a 10 a.m. hearing
on “The President’s Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the
Laws.” The experts have a mix of legal, constitutional and health policy
backgrounds.
Congressional Republicans have accused
the president of circumventing the nation’s laws he disagrees with. They
have specifically cited Obama’s actions on the Affordable Care Act (aka
Obamacare), which Republicans have tried almost 50 times to repeal, and
also want to knock him for enacting policy initiatives on issues that
failed to win Congress’ approval, such as the DREAM Act.
During the hearing, the Committee heard from four top legal and constitutional experts (click the links below to read their written statements): Professor Jonathan Turley, George Washington University Law School; Professor Nicholas Rosenkranz, Georgetown University Law Center; Simon Lazarus, Constitutional Accountability Center; and Michael F. Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies, Cato Institute.
To a man, each of these experts, while focusing on different aspects of the “Obama way” in Washington and documenting their arguments in great detail, came to the same conclusion: This president is out of control.
