In fact ANYTHING that has to go through the President won't be signed into law.
Also, according to the article....
It is unclear if congressional Republicans can actually defund the executive action, given that the agency that processes work permits, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is funded through application fees and not subject to the appropriations process.
Obama would veto this, and spend money already allocated.
Here’s an option:
Congress tells the directors of the departments that would implement the EO that they will be charged w/contempt of congress if they do.
Funding deportations would block the law (inadequate funding is Obama’s rationale for this) and could not be filibustered. Obama could not veto it without taking blame for the resultant shutdown.
Of course the GOPe does not want to do this LOL!
Let him veto it and let the Democrats be on record to not override the veto. Do this often and let his legacy be that he vetoed more legislation than any other President.
It’s silly anyway. How do you prevent funding, when the department to facilitate the funding will have to exist anyway to process legal immigration?
Not reported by US media — the German Press had to do it.
The German caption reads: “Obama declares the New World Order”.
Separate the Immigration Service AND THE WHITE HOUSE from the rest of the appropriations. Add a rider blocking Obama’s plan. If he vetoes it then both the Immigration Service and the White House close down while the rest of the government continues to function.
Oh, yeah. Stop funding for enforcement. That’ll work. [Little irony and sarcasm there.]
Forget these surgical strikes.. Go for the whole enchilada. Prosecute Obama for his numerous illegal actions, from bombing Libya without consent of Congress to releasing 5 Taliban commanders without notifying Congress. Obamacare lies and unilateral changing of laws on Obamacare and immigration.. There’s more than enough for prosecution on violating his oath of office.
HEllo!
Defund the Whitehouse in its entirety.
I’m just SURE 0bama will sign it.... LOL
Are there 66(or is it 67) Senators to override a Veto? I doubt it....
useless
But its great politics....it makes people think their reps are conservative and are doing something.
David Cameron does this kind of crap in the UK and people don’t buy it, they vote for the new political party, UKIP instead.....
Which has NO chance of being signed into law-these Reps. think the American people are idiots or easily led, well you won’t fool us this time!
they need to fund the INS investigation of obama’s birth certificate and citizenship status what have they got to lose now? put Obama on the spot.
Okay then.
Obama will Veto it.
If even you get the 2/3’s override, Obama will just ignore the law - just like he’s doing with our immigration laws. :)
It’s good to be the King. :D
Reconcilliation.
