Obama Threatens to Veto Bill That Would Require Him to Enforce US Law and His Oath of Office.

Republicans in the House are drafting a bill requiring the president to enforce federal laws. Isn’t that what the oath of office is for? Republicans want the ability to take agency officials to court for not enforcing the laws covered by their department. Resident Obama has threatened to veto the bill. The bill is necessary because Resident Obama has so abused the power of the presidency, that he only enforces laws that agrees with his ideology. Actually he even enforces laws that don’t exist if they fit his ideology. He has lost dozens of cases coming from the EPA and the Obamacare bill.
Rep Bob Goodlatte explains the reasoning behind the bill:
“President Obama has refused to enforce those parts of our nation’s immigration laws that are not to his political liking, has waived portions of our welfare laws, has stretched our environmental laws to accommodate his policy objectives, and has waived testing accountability provisions required under the ‘No Child Left Behind’ Education Law.”
In 2012, Resident Obama gave tentative amnesty to 500,000 illegal aliens. This made it harder for American citizens to get jobs. Goodlatte gives other examples:
“Political appointees at the Justice Department have announced that rather than work with Congress to amend the federal criminal code, they will simply stop prosecuting low-level drug offenders under mandatory minimum sentencing laws.”
“And now that his signature health care law has not been working and revealed his empty promises, President Obama has changed that law unilaterally over 20 times.”
The two companion bills are aptly named, “the Faithful Execution of the Law Act.” and the “ENFORCE the Law Act.” Neither bill will get a reading in the Senate since Harry Reid does not want to limit the resident to US laws.
