Obama is acting like a monarch — he doesn’t need Congress, just signs executive orders to do whatever he wants.
Isn’t there some way to challenge this — Congress should look into this, how can he keep bypassing Congress?! There must be a limit of what can be done by executive orders.

Congressional recourse:

Excerpt:
If Congress does not like what the executive branch is doing, it has two main options. First, it may rewrite or amend a previous law, or spell it out in greater detail how the Executive Branch must act. Of course, the President has the right to veto the bill if he disagrees with it, so, in practice, a 2/3 majority if often required to override an Executive Order.
There was ONE instance where an EO was revoked:

Congress/ House Revokes EO Jan 2, 2013
House Passes Congressional Pay Freeze, 129 Members Vote for Pay Increase

The House approved a bill to rescind the executive order President Obama signed last week that ended the pay freeze on federal employees, which meant that some federal workers would be getting a raise—including members of Congress.
AND - this was introduced, but results are unknown (probably did not pass).
