Levin urged the House to pass a resolution that includes language similar to this:
“Whereas the president of the United States has asserted executive powers not granted to him under the United States Constitution, the United States House of Representatives hereby asserts as an equal governing institution that all such acts by the president of the United States are null and void. The House of Representatives further asserts that no federal department, federal official or federal employee is authorized to appropriate any sum of taxpayer dollars in furtherance of any unconstitutional act by the president of the United States.”
Make this a headline when Levin DOESN’T “explode” at the GOP or Obama. ;-)

Waste of time. Sorry but a resolution is wallpaper. Or toilet paper. Not law.
The is no backbone in the GOP so called leadership. They only fight their base of Conservatives.
It occurs to me that dingy Harry Reid is the linchpin of all of this. By being deliberately obstructive and disruptive, he’s rendered Congress impotent. The communist media/entertainment complex blames the GOP House, and 0bama seizes power in the vacuum created.
You’ll always be creative in my mind.
A Resolution? hy not just use harsh language. Please. What a stupid idea.
Damn....I haven’t listened to Mark in too long. Out of time here tonight, but I’m going to find the audio of this and listen tomorrow.
Thanks, Laz!
Good thread, thanks.
I have thought about this a lot. I have decided that the time has come that Obama needs to be impeached in the House. The GOP looks as bad as Obama for allowing Obama to act lawlessly. I know they fear losing their jobs because the media will vilify them...but, sometimes people have to stand up and do the right thing in spite of their fears. The American people are disgusted that no one will pull in the reins on Obama. This is ridiculous watching what he gets away with. Do the right thing, Consequences be damned. If the House fails to act, they will be responsible for any actions the citizens could take out of desperation to stop this criminal activity by the Democrats.
If nothing else, its sets the precedent that the POTUS cannot act outside the Constitution with nobody calling him out and trying to stop him.
Now it's up to us to send this to all of our reps and hammer them until they act.
We need a clear, and oft repeated, factual enumeration of those assertion of powers not granted. There’s a lot of hysteria built on hysteria instead of facts, and without facts we’ll fast get to the point of both sides just impassionedly screaming at each other. This is not something to screw up in the heat of the moment; we need the ability to, with a one-page accurate summary, hammer home “Obama is guilty of X, Y, Z, P, D & Q” in an unambiguous manner. Shouting “Barry SUX!” may be true but is unhelpful.
Levin speaks truth to power.
Right on Mark!
That is a resolution, not a law, so it’s like a “sense of the senate” which also means nothing. They would need to start impeachment procedures if they go that direction.
They could also not pass ANY spending measures Hussein wants to accomplish related to an executive order. So far, they are not withholding money from the dictator in the White House. Any measure he tried to start, he would need money. If the house wouldn’t give it to him, he would be stopped.
We have a speaker who has battle fatigue and doesn’t have the fortitude to stop Hussein’s spending.
It is very much a crisis. And this dude has no bones about telling congress that he will act on his own. Impeachment instead of resolution.
