Should be 'Game-Set- Match' by Congress.
Funny, Boener didn’t mention during presser.
True.
But it would not surprise me in the least if the bureaucracy, loaded as it is with statist toads, goes into action on the word of the president in spite of what congress says.
I wonder what then.
Right, like speaker Bonehead would have any part in pissing off his buddies.
Please forward to the GOP in Congress. I’m sure they’re unaware of this remedy.
Was wondering when someone would point this out.
Perhaps Boner thinks the no funding option is less offensive to Mexico.
Or perhaps if the electorate finally figures out that Congress COULD repeal such abominations as EO 11246 then they would be held accountable.
Can’t have that.
If it is that simple, then why are we going through all this grief? Don’t the Republicans have a lawyer who can tell them about this?
QUESTION: Does the President need to sign off on this Congressional Revocation (i.e., can he veto it) or can it stand on its own?
When I become preezie my first and last EO will be to rescind the EOs of the previous 5 presidents.
“Further, as long as it is not constitutionally based, Congress may repeal a presidential order, or terminate the underlying authority upon which the action is predicated.”
Great research. It is very intuitive; if the president oversteps his constitutional authority, then Congress can bat it down. Otherwise, without hyperbole, we have a dictatorship, and a confederacy of fools in Congress to let it stand. If I remember correctly, the Constitution gives Congress the authority to set aside Supreme Court rulings.
He doesn’t want to humiliate him. Obama must know this is what’s coming down the pike. This is why he wasn’t interested in being President if he lost the Senate.
Nothing he could do. All the crap in the press - bluster. Doesn’t mean anything.
”… Congress simply directed ..."
What does “simply directed” mean in terms of the Constitution? Did both Houses of Congress pass a bill declaring that a referenced E.O. does have any effect, knowing that the president would either not sign the bill, or possibly veto the bill. And if vetoed, Congress then using its constitutional Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I power to override a veto with 2/3 vote of each House of Congress.

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. A number of lawmakers spoke out about the absurdity of the pay increase and timing of the move. Rep. Michele Bachmann said in a statement, “This executive order was not requested by Congress and we should reject it. We have a spending problem in our country and we should be looking for areas to cut spending. At a time when families across the country are cutting back we should not increase government spending and add to the debt burden by giving members of Congress a pay raise.”
Great find. Bump!
So the vehicle is there to stop the assclown.
Remains to be seen whether the testicles are present.

Martial Law is his only option....
this information needs to be moved up the line quickly to people who can make use of it.
This looks promising.
