Chris Stewart (R-Utah) released the following statement ahead of President Obama\u2019s immigration speech. President Obama is expected to issue an executive order tonight on\u00a0immigration.\n\"A presidential executive order on immigration clearly goes against the powers outlined in the Constitution.\u00a0As the Constitution states, \u00a0it\u2019s Congress\u2019\u00a0responsibility is \"to\u00a0establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization\u201d.\u00a0Like most Utahns, I recognize that our immigration system is broken and must be reformed, but the President's use of executive orders and a call for amnesty isn\u2019t the answer. Not only are his actions unconstitutional, but it goes against the will of the people and of Congress. If the president wants to reform immigration it must happen\u00a0through the proper channels within Congress.\"", 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://stewart.house.gov//media-center/press-releases/stewart-statement-on-president-obamas-immigration-executive-order"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6000308096408844, "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"}
