Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) says that the newly launched Congressional Full Employment Caucus will give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign.
Jackson Lee made the statement while gathered with Democrats on January 29th to announce the establishment of the Full Employment Caucus.
We will be answering the call of all of America because people need work and were not doing right by them by creating work, Jackson Lee said. I believe this caucus will put us on the right path and well give President Obama a number of executive orders that he can sign with pride and strength.
In fact, I think that should be our number one agenda. Lets write up these executive orders, draft them of course - and ask the president to stand with us on full employment.
The Congressional Full Employment Caucus was launched last week by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.). Conyers website says: The Congressional Full Employment Caucus will serve as a platform and working group for Members dedicated to identifying solutions to our current unemployment crisis and advocating for legislative action.
Executive orders issued by a president have the full force of law and do not have to receive approval by the legislative branch of government. During his State of The Union address last week, President Obama made clear he was willing to use executive actions to sidestep Congress.
In addition to Conyers and Lee, members of the caucus include; Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), José Serrano (D-N.Y.), and Mike Quigley (D-Ill.).
Lately reality trumps satire. You may be jesting, but the reality is probably EXACTLY what you just outlined, if not even more absurd.
That rogues gallery sounds like the Commie-RAT Caucus.
She ought to be locked up in a mental hospital and heavily medicated.
LOL! Those quotes would be perfect for a parody on Saturday Night Live, they wouldn’t even have to write the script.
If that nut job running North Korea were to take her out with a mortar the median IQ in Texas would increase dramatically. History will not remember this woman kindly. She’s destined to be seen as a dunce and an embarrassment to what our founders intended for our elected officials to be.
After reading them for herself, Rep. Jackson also needs to give Obama a copy of the following items. First, a copy of the Constitution's first numbered clauses, Section's 1-3 of Article I, eviedntly a good place to hide them from both Obama and Rep. Jackson Lee, where the Founding States had clarified that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress and none for the Oval Office.
Next, she needs to give Obama a copy of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer opinion. In that opinion the Supreme Court had reflected on the statutes referenced above to clarify that constitutionally undefined executive orders don't have the force of law unless supported by constitutionally defensible laws made by Congress.
Executive order
Note that since Obama is actually fighting power wars (constitutionally nonexistent powers) with corrupt Congress that he can make paper airplanes out of many of his executive orders. After all, he's undoubtedly using constitutionally indefensible executive orders just to try to look like a king making edicts in the eyes of low-information voters.
Ms. Nostradamus? :)
Someone really needs to write a book about how stupid people get elected, get famous and/or get rich. There are just too many of them out there.
I’d be ashamed to be in a party that has people like her as members.
Sheila J.L. enables Commie Obama.
Sheila J.L. is a Commie enabler.
Godness. What would this imbecile do for a job without Congress? I am certain she is the dumbest politician in Washington.
