Obama is the first President in history to not only ignore our Congress's role but also to feel his executive powers over rides the Constitution. Some have noticed and are taking action:
Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman threatened Monday afternoon that he would file articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama if he institutes gun control measures with an executive order.Obama has said he will ignore the law on the budget and that he will take executive orders to make his agenda on gun controls and immigration to happen. He explained he is tired of Congress and an out dated Constitution standing in his way.
“Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.”
“If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,” he said.
