Republicans: Obama violating Constitution, but little can be done about it

Washington Republicans on Sunday restated their argument that President Obama has violated the Constitution by using executive orders to alter the Affordable Care Act, but acknowledged they likely have no recourse or ability to stop another incident.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told “Fox News Sunday” that congressional Republicans think the president abused the government’s separation of powers by using the executive orders to sidestep Congress and delay the law’s employer mandate.

However, he said critics would have a tough time winning in court because Congress lacks the so-called “legal standing” to present the case and they would have a “tough time” finding somebody hurt enough by the delays to be a good plaintiff.

“The president knows this is wrong,” said Lee, among the most outspoken ObamaCare critics. “What gives him the ability to rewrite the law?”

They could impeach the SOB or at this point prolly invoke the 25th ammendment as he is clearly not fit for duty.

It’s really quite simple: Impeach, indict, arrest, convict, sentence.

That "convict" part will simply never happen with a rat/rino senate.

An overwhelming victory for the conservative cause this November would open up a possibility though.

Just a guess, but if you impeach his ass, it will slow him down in his quest to destroy the country.

Hey, it would at least piss off Valarie Jarrett. That alone would make me smile.

but acknowledged they likely have no recourse or ability to stop another incident

but they never even try. That is the problem. That is why the GOPe are seen as losers.

Why should these wimps be re-elected if they can’t stand up for the Constitution?

“So the Executive usurps powers reserved to the Legislature and the Legislature doesn’t think they have standing to go to court?”

Excellently summarized. Shows the absurdity.
