Our Republic’s More-Shameful Hours
Greg Campbell, Political Analyst, TPNN — As President Obama and his Department of Justice have become entirely comfortable with abandoning their duties as law enforcers, House Republicans have pushed back by pushing a bill that would allow legislators to sue agency officials if they refuse to enforce legally-passed laws.The House bill is entitled, “the Faithful Execution of the Law Act.”
However, President Obama is threatening to veto such a law if it reaches his desk, a sure sign that the imperial president is uncomfortable with strengthened checks on his power.
According to the Daily Caller:
“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 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.
“Federal agencies are continually engaged in the process of determining how to concentrate limited enforcement resources most effectively,” said the White House statement.
“The vastly expanded reporting scheme required by the bill would be unduly burdensome and would place the Attorney General in the unprecedented position of having to be kept informed of and report on enforcement decisions made by every other Federal agency,” the statement said.
“If the President were presented with H.R. 3973, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bill.”
It appears beyond absurd that Congress should have to create a law that mandates that the executive, who has sworn to uphold and enforce the law, should be compelled to do exactly that.
Further, it seems outrageous that such efforts are being threatened with a veto. The Obama presidency may very well be remembered in history books as one of our Republic’s more-shameful hours. » Full Article
