Michael Savage said one solution was for Congress to alter the statute on which the Executive Order was based/cited.
Change the statute, and the Executive Order is null and void.

[Jean2]

Probably a good idea but I doubt the gutless wonder party will have the guts to do that.

"there is NO Executive Order" ...

What EO? Got a number?

RE: Change the statute, and the Executive Order is null and void.

OK, they change the statute, which in effect becomes a new law, right?

Next question — WHO NEEDS TO SIGN IT INTO LAW?

[caligatrux]

I know some people think this is better than nothing, but it just feels like hucking rocks at the tank crashing through your house. It just emphasizes that they are weak and ineffectual.

[SeekAndFind]

Did my eyes deceive me? The conservative stalwart Steve King voted “Present”?

Why?

[Carl Vehse]

seven Republicans voted no and another three Republicans voted “present.”

It will be important to know the names of these ten RINOs.

[SoFloFreeper]

I … thought we had a Constitution that does that, but I guess we don’t anymore.

Bingo. We don't need a law that says the executive branch cannot violate the Constitution.

This is absurd.

You can’t make this crap up!! In the 1850 we had the “Know Nothing Party” But now the republicrats embody the “DO NOTHING” party. What we want is to stop funding the uncostitutional power grab by the White House. We want obama care defunded. WE HAD A LANDSLIDE VICTORY BECAUSE WE SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN FOR 2 days and invigorated the base!! Shut the damned thing down until Jan 1 — Dont just let them have funding!!! This is madness.

[Vaquero]

Waste of time.....as it says in the title,,,,”SYMBOLIC “ we need to go for impeachment for ALL his crimes.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Probably because this was nothing-burger symbolism.

[caligatrux]

What EO? Got a number?

LOL. This is the first Obama has heard of an Executive Order, and he is just as shocked as anyone else, but he promises he will get to the bottom of it, because he is working hard for the stup-- ...uhh, great America people.

OK, they defund it as part of a spending bill... WHO SIGNS IT INTO LAW?

Anything that requires Obama’s signature will be VETOED.

And neither house has the 2/3 numbers needed to override it.

What happens next? A test of wills of course.... which means another government shutdown.

I for one am for it. I’m not sure if most of America is for it though.

[sheana]

Probably because this is only SYMBOLIC and he knows it’s a joke on citizen voters.

[MrB]

Keep in mind that

THEY DON’T WANT TO STOP AMNESTY.

RE: we need to go for impeachment for ALL his crimes.

Need 2/3 of Senate to have him removed.

Won’t happen, a waste of time.

[JRandomFreeper]

The last EO that Obama signed was Executive Order 13679, which dealt with a dispute with loco engineers.

“House passes symbolic bill to block Obama’s executive amnesty.”

I just passed symbolic gas to let the House know what I think of their symbolic vote.
