A group of House Republicans is pushing a resolution to bring legal action against President Barack Obama for overstepping his authority in executive orders.
The STOP (Stop This Overreaching Presidency) resolution, sponsored by Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), targets Obama for allowing a year extension health care policies that were ended because of Obamacare; delaying the employer mandate for one year; deferring the deportation of illegal immigrants brought to the country as children and waiving part of the welfare work requirement.
“He’s got a pen and a telephone, it’s true, but we’ve got the Constitution,” Rice said on Wednesday. “The prosperity of this country arose from those freedoms and they must be protected.”

The correct answer is articles of impeachment.
Exactly what are they planning to do. Shoot spitballs thru a straw?

Obama faces backlash on executive power

“The executive agenda outlined in the Politico Pro report — which described an administration eager to shape everything from the content of third-grade math tests to the recipe for Reese’s Pieces to the fuel sources that power our homes — spooks voters, and not just Republicans, said Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah). “This is something that people react to viscerally,” Stewart said.”

I'll believe it when I see it; until then it's just like Issa's investigations
that do nothing.
If they were doing something, that would be an impeachment vote after a summons for Obama to appear before Congress to answer questions about his ‘executive actions’ and overstepping of his authority.
Instead it is empty votes for empty actions. The only power Congress has over a president who is overreaching authority is summons and impeachment.
PROVE IT, GOP! Because from where I sit you are complicit in this BS. All you do is grand stand and stab us in the back.
Tell us exactly what the GOP plans on doing? I’m curious.
This from a GOP who is too afraid to put Hillary UNDER OATH regarding
Benhgizi. Please do tell us what the GOP plans on doing.
HEY, those hurt!!
I was on my bus going home from high school and these stupid boys were blowing spitballs at me. I finally got SO angry that I got up, went to the back of the bus and KICKED the kid in the shins AS HARD AS I COULD. And I had on those big clunky old school shoes. He HURT!!! He kept laughing, as he was hugging his shin....:o) BAD Catholic high school girl...BAD GIRL! GRRRrrrrrr!!!
I see very little evidence the GOPe wants to STOP Obama. There are a few members who do, no doubt.
Then flush the toilet to sweep the bowl clean of the rest of the RINO creeps...
Utah’s Stewart was on a list as amnesty supporter. I don’t know if he switched back like Raul, Lankford and Poe.
Very strongly witten letter...
The house is lead by and filled mainly with a buch of worthless dung.
“We’ve got the constitution.”
HAHAHA. Like Obama cares about that.
What good is a meaningless resolution???? Either bring legal actions against Obama if you think you have a case or else shut up and go home. Submitting a meaningless resolution saying "Gee, I think we need to do something about this" does absolutely nothing.
Spitballs?
No. They’re sending Romney in.
Patriots need to support Congress with impeachment by electing a conservative majority to the Senate in the 2014 elections, hopefully a 2/3 conservative majority.
