Congressional Review??? His Obamaness don’t need no stinkin’ congressional review. A ball point pen and a pad of Executive Order chits will do jes fine.
This administration together with this US AG will go down in history as the most lawbreaking in US history. We still don’t know where all the stimulus money went, but somehow Barky and Mooch are planning to buy a $35 million estate on Oahu. Hmmmmm....
