or American, who dares vote for, or demand
a bill requiring the undocumented KING to adhere to Law.

President Barack Obama would veto a GOP-drafted bill that would allow legislators to take agency officials to court if they don’t enforce laws, according to a White House statement.
The GOP is pushing the bill through the House because Obama has repeatedly declined to enforce laws he doesn’t like, say GOP legislators.

Let him veto it. That will look great in an ad against his party.
Why would he bother vetoing it? It wouldn’t be enforced anyhow.
“..So I would think there would be screaming and outrage when a President does not uphold the law..”
:::::::::::::
Ignorant masses, dysfunctional selfish Congress.
It would also look good on an Articles of Impeachment.
You bet. Let him go on record vetoing a bill that merely says he's required to the job he took an oath to do.
What if he doesn’t veto it, but refuses to enforce it?
The rule of lawless.
On the other hand, he could just sign the law and proceed to ignore it... (like he does our Constitution and all our other laws)
You wold think that someone would point out that this “concept” is not up to the political (i.e., let’s vote on it!) whims of the legislature or the executive branch.
I fail to find any clause in the consititution that provides for selectivity in either branch.
I say that a member of the executive branch that does not execute, uphold or enforce duly executed legislation is in contempt of congress and should be jailed on simple conviction.
I happen to agree with him on this one.
The Constitution requires him to execute the law. The bill is redundant.
The only thing that is missing is impeachment and demanding that the Congress enforce the constitutional requirements.
Washington DC should take the name of Crimea.
Hairy Screed, (To quote another freeper) Won’t even let that into the upper house if it even gets out of the House of reps.
Doesn't this indicate current RINOs are scared to use their constitutional power to impeach to impeach Obama?
I have an idea. IMPEACH HIM. Surely repeatedly violating the constitution is a High Crime!!! HURRY UP
Liberals never wanted a president who would enforce laws. They wanted someone who would seize as much power as possible to either overturn capitalism or at least prevent conservatives from having any voice at all.
Obama already took an oath to DO what this law tries to compel him to do,why does the House waste their time on useless votes,Impeach him for violating the Constitution,Defund Obamacare,they had opportunities to do these things and they wet their pants,tell Boner to take a hike and stop wasting time on useless stunts and do something useful
So this position must be more of the "fundamental transformation" he promised. So much for foundational law.
“Obama threatens to veto his executive orders”
