(CNSNews.com) – In reference to President Barack Obama’s pledge, during his State of the Union speech, to advance his agenda on climate change and the minimum wage by executive order, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said “executive orders are legal” and that he is “acting on behalf of the American people.”
At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday evening, CNSNews.com asked Rep. Lee, “What about the Republicans criticizing the use of executive orders when it comes to climate change and minimum wage – his use of executive orders?”
Rep. Jackson Lee said, “As I was saying, [the address] was appealing to the needs of the American people. And, frankly, if the American people are crying out for relief - they’re crying out for unemployment insurance, or climate change or the Affordable Care Act and the president is mandated to do what he can on behalf of the American people – executive orders are legal and they will be addressed by the legal system if they are overreaching.”
Jackson Lee also said that the president “knows the Constitution.”
“Frankly, the president knows his confines,” Jackson Lee said. “He knows the Constitution.”
“We know what is right on behalf of the people of the United States,” she said. “And he has a right to use executive order.”
“My friends in the Congress who are Republicans always say as Democrats, ‘Let’s work together,’” Jackson Lee said. “If we can work together and pass legislation, the president has already said he will sign it.”
Jackson Lee further said Congress should put people back to work.
“Let’s create job legislation that puts people back to work,” she said. “Technology. Energy. Putting people back to work rather than criticizing work on behalf of the American people. Let’s come together and do work on behalf of the American people.”
Bump that!
Funny, I seem to recall he confused it with the Declaration of Independence.
Ah, the Democrat brain trust speaks.
(She must have taken out her gum.)
As usual, if you want to know what a leftist plans, just listen to what he/she/it says they will NOT do. Then you can bet dollars to donuts that they will.
So when Barky said that he's "not a dictator," what he meant was, "not yet!"

There is more. Hussein also said...
"But this is part of the whole theory of George Bush that he can make laws as he’s going along. I disagree with that. I taught the Constitution for ten years, I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States."
He was speaking specifically about signing statements. But the underlying basis for his comments was the fact that Bush was violating the US Constitution by creating law and that congress was tasked with creating law and he, Obama, would honor that. He lied.

Wow...I never knew Congress hired or fired people...
That Sheila is one smart cookie...
Shouldn’t she just resign, I mean what purpose is there for congress if members of congress don’t want their own damned power?????
She’s speaking to the low-information voter base, and it will go unchallenged. /racecard
