Representative Steven King (R-IA) said on Friday that he would go to court to enjoin Obama's "DREAM Executive Order" from taking effect. Unless and until Congress
passes anything like the DREAM Act, Obama has no right to put it into
effect by Executive Order. So says
King. He also said he would challenge the President by himself, whether
anyone else in Congress joined him or not. (See stories in WND and Newsmax.)
King’s problem with this Executive Order goes far beyond what it does. No
President, nor any State Governor or other executive, has the power to
do what he pleases without checking with his respective legislature.
King said he would act
before Obama has a chance to do even more damage to the Constitution.
King has done this before. Then-Governor Tom Vilsack signed an
Executive Order in 1999, having to do with hiring discrimination in
State government offices. King sued him, and won. A judge said that
Vilsack exceeded his authority with that order. King will rely on his
experience in suing Obama. His lawyers are looking now into:
- Where to sue, and
- Whether he has standing.
This is the first time in recent memory that anyone in Congress has
challenged a Presidential Executive Order. Without challenges like this,
Presidents have for decades seemed to make new law with them and get
away with it. Now, at last, a court might decide whether a President may
do that, and how far he may go.

We are to be a nation of laws and ANYONE, including the President are subject to them.
Funny how you hold the side you don't like to the standard but it's "ok" when your guy does it?
We are a republic based on checks and balances; congress passes laws and the excutive is suppose to carry out those laws not make by fiat his own.
Support King!

IT'S ALL ABOUT POLITICS. Barack is patronizing you Jose, Juan,. Pedro, Eduardo. Some of us see it why are the rest of us so friggin blind.
Down right embarrassing at times.
When Bush did what? Excec orders. They all do it. It's what they want to use the Orders for and whether or not they are sidestepping Congress.
We all know Barack thinks the Constitution is "out dated" and gets in his way. TFB
