Congressman Harris released the following statement after the House vote:\n\u201cI am pleased we passed legislation enabling us to take President Obama to court to stop his unlawful actions. While this lawsuit focuses on how President Obama delayed the legislative mandates in the Affordable Care Act without consulting Congress, this Administration has repeatedly exceeded the authority of the executive branch\u2014from unilaterally freeing five Taliban terrorists to granting amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants. No President of either party should ever abuse their power.\u00a0That\u2019s why this lawsuit is so necessary.\u201d\nTo hear more of Congressman Harris\u2019 thoughts on the lawsuit, please see the video of the one-minute speech he delivered on the House floor prior to today\u2019s vote.\n###\nCONTACT:\nErin Montgomery\nPress Secretary\nOffice of Congressman Andy Harris, M.D.\nMaryland\u2019s First District\n1533 Longworth HOB | Washington, DC 20515\nO: 202-226-4870\nM: 202-441-7940\nerin.montgomery@mail.house.gov\nWebsite\u00a0|\u00a0Facebook\u00a0|\u00a0Twitter\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WVwTfu_CDY&feature=youtu.be", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://harris.house.gov/press-release/congressman-andy-harris-md-applauds-house-vote-authorize-lawsuit-against-president"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7116820197552443, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
