Theres No Way Obama Is Serving Two More Years After What Gowdy Just Uncovered Preparing to file suit against the president, Rep. Trey Gowdy Senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rand Paul, R-Ky, team up to fight Obamas over use of power. The thread that holds the tapestry of our country together is respect for and adherence to the rule of law, Gowdy said. Attempts to undermine the law via executive fiat, regardless of motivation, are dangerous. When the executive branch acts outside of constitutional boundaries the legislative branch must use all powers afforded it to respond and restore the constitutional equilibrium. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. Rather, it should hasten the resolve of all Americans to make certain her elected officials honor the foundational document they swore to protect and defend, Gowdy said, Which would serve as a remedy for Obamas actions. President Obama may seek a fight with Republicans in Congress, but in reality he is fighting with founders of this republic and the carefully crafted separation of powers. Gowdy added. Sen. Cruz also seemed strongly at taking legal action. We are unfortunately witnessing a constitutional crisis, Cruz said. What President Obama is doing is defying the law, defying the Constitution. This last election was a referendum on amnesty, and the American people overwhelmingly rose up and said no, we dont want lawless amnesty. If he goes forward unilaterally defying the Congress elected by the people defying the American voters then its incumbent on Republicans in Congress to use every single constitutional tool we have to defend the rule of law, to reign in a president so that the president does not become an unaccountable monarch. Sen. Paul also felt as if this would be the right action to take. President Obama is not above the law and has no right to issue Executive Amnesty. His actions blatantly ignore the Separations of Powers and the principles our country was founded on. The President has said 22 times previously that he does not have the power to legislate on immigration, Sen. Paul said. I will not sit idly by and let the President bypass Congress and our Constitution, he added
