Incoming Senate Budget Committee chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is calling on Republicans to follow through on Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus's commitment to do everything possible to block President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty.
“Before the election, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said: ‘We can’t allow it to happen and we won’t let it happen… I’m telling you, everything we can do to stop it we will,’” Sessions said in a statement provided exclusively to Breitbart News. “We must now follow through on that commitment.”
Currently, conservatives say congressional Republican leadership is considering breaking the promise Priebus made before the election. His promise was explicitly bold, and included the specific guarantee that if voters turned the Senate Republican—as they have now done—Republicans will do everything possible to stop Obama’s planned executive amnesty, including defunding it.
After calling Obama’s plans “illegal,” “unconstitutional” and “un-American,” Priebus vowed Republicans would stop him.
“While I can’t speak for the legislature, I’m very confident we will stop that,” Priebus said on a conference call with TheTeaParty.Net after an exclusive interview with Breitbart News a week before the election. “We will do everything we can to make sure it doesn’t happen: Defunding, going to court, injunction. You name it. It’s wrong. It's illegal. And for so many reasons, and just the basic fabric of this country, we can’t allow it to happen and we won’t let it happen. I don’t know how to be any stronger than that. I’m telling you, everything we can do to stop it we will.”
Recent news reports indicate that House GOP leaders have been—since before the election—working on a long-term government funding deal with Senate Democratic leaders. The deal is still in the works but negotiators, are reportedly aiming to use it to fund the government through...

Sessions warns that GOP must back Reince’s plan.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Rancid Prius got the idea from Ted Cruz, of course.
It’s already in the Constitution that ONLY CONGRESS has the power over naturalization of citizens.
Maybe nobody in DC has read the goddammned thing.
Article 1
Section. 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
What can they do short of impeachment or proving unqualification to serve, e.g. not born in the U.S.?
Since Obama thinks he has nothing to lose he’s going to go all in and try to destroy as much of America as he can. He is an enemy of America. If there’s any patriots left now is the time to do their duty.
Sheriff Joe, wherever you are, this would be a great time to reveal what you have found about Obola.
And Jeff Sessions, you are a giant of a man.
My question as well. Can they do anything to stop it? Perhaps, do not fund anything related to it. But then O$hithead will not sign legislation that does that.
oh, puhleeeze, Obama was a constitutional law professor, he knows it all already. /s
Anyone else wonder if O’s plan is just to get his own citizenship set. Nah, couldn’t be.
While I applaud the focus on this, do they honestly think I and others have forgotten that they want to do the very same damned thing.
Okay, our version wouldn’t be by executive order.
It would just grant the same thing through legislation.
That’s a betray of the American people every bit as much as if Obama did it. The end result is the same thing.
Why can’t these jackasses get that?
Cruz accepted of course...
Obama is LAW-LESS because Republican "leaders" are BALL-LESS!!!!
Hey Pubbis....we WILL have your back IF you stand strong.
“Since Obama thinks he has nothing to lose he’s going to go all in and try to destroy as much of America as he can. He is an enemy of America.”
And we must make sure that we prosecute every one of his henchmen when this is over and he’s gone. We would be well advised to hold a Nuremburg style trial and drag each and every one of them up before that tribunal.
Pass laws, then take the Administration to court when they're not enforced?
The CR expires on 12/11
That is D-Day
If this foreign son of a communist whore wants to play Dictator, the GOP must shut FEDGOV down, or they will be COMPLICIT.
He oughta be in jail.
I have become a fan of Jeff Sessions
impeach Obama
