Congress has the power to overturn executive orders. And there’s no reason Congress can’t do so in advance — that is, pass a law that would prevent the president from doing whatever he planned to do in an executive order. Of course, that would require that both House and Senate actually pass a law, which won’t happen in today’s divided environment.

So why even report this?
Yeah, just like they overturned Obamacare. Oh, wait...
Nice thoughts...but they’re only thoughts, nice ones.
It will never go anywhere because as the last part says, the Senate would have to approve and the President would have to sign. DOA!
But there is one suggestion that has merit that came from one our Freepers, and that is a governor of a state should file for a federal court injunction against Obama’s overreach, real or potential, and allow the court docket to eat up the clock until after the next Congress is sworn in.
A federal court injunction or federal restraining order would render all federal law enforcement illegal and off limits to carrying out Obama’s overreaching executive orders. No federal law enforcement officer will violate federal court orders that restrain Obama. Thus, Obama is neutered.
See, this is the problem. Brietbart is running a headline accusing Boehner of caving, meanwhile the Washington Examiner says they are checking Obama’s action.
We conservatives/Republicans really sound more and more like the Democrat party of the 1980s....mad at each other more than the opposing party.
I have been in a hotel the last couple of nights. I do not have HBO at home but last night I came across an episode of the Bill Maher (sp.) show while flipping through channels. He did some sort of nursery rhyme regarding illegal immigration and of course mentioned how some people don’t want “brown” people in the country. He ended it by saying that “we need your grit” regarding illegals and then followed the rhyme by saying “Republicans are full of ****.” The audience whooped it up. More naivete from the left. And what kind of audience is entertained by such an important issue? The dumbing down of America is in evidence.
The Illegal Border Crisis, the Loophole is the CIC, not the law. Public being HOODWINKED by BOTH PARTIES!

Even though most Democrats in the House are currently supporting any kind of amnesty they can get, Democrats as well as Republicans need to be called today. It is important for Democrats — three months before elections — to hear just how unpopular these amnesties are. More than anybody else in Congress in recent years, Sen. Sessions has stood up for immigration policies in the interest of American wage-earners and their families. We definitely owe it to him — and to our national community — to respond with a phone call to our U.S. Representative today.....
...Make one or more of the following points to the congressional staffer who answers the phone:
1. You object to Pres. Obama by himself giving another mass amnesty to illegal aliens. The news media are reporting that he plans to do it soon, and you are outraged.
2. Congress should not give the President any of the money he wants for the Border Surge unless the bill prohibits the President from issuing any more work permits to illegal aliens without congressional approval. Ask if the Representative will promise to insist on that.
3. Tell them you support H.R.5160 by Rep. Blackburn that blocks any more go-it-alone amnesties by a President.
