Obama threatens vetoes of bills requiring him to follow the law
2014-03-13
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President B.O. is threatening to veto a law that would allow Congress to sue him in federal courts for arbitrarily changing or refusing to enforce federal laws because it "violates the separation of powers" by encroaching on his presidential authority.

"[T]he power the bill purports to assign to Congress to sue the President over whether he has properly discharged his constitutional obligation to take care that the laws be faithfully executed exceeds constitutional limitations," the White House Office of Management and Budget said Wednesday in a statement of administration policy. "Congress may not assign such power to itself, nor may it assign to the courts the task of resolving such generalized political disputes."

#7  I watched him "Pretend" to be all enthused , sprinting up stairs "Pretending" to be energetic it's all a show people. He's tired.

The phony smile, sprinting, grinning and swaggering.

#2  Did not think of that Besoeker... Brilliant move, he veto's it and they go for an over ride. Both votes are the kiss of death for supporting Obama's unlawful actions.

#1  "The Rule of Law" shaping up to be a national campaign issue? Let us hope so. Kenyan, half-black lame ducks aside, imagine the negative campaign value of a senator or congressman who might vote against such a proposed law.
