Tom Graves (R-GA-14) voted for and the House passed H.R. 5759, a bill to stop President Obama\u2019s executive amnesty plan and prevent any similar actions in the future. \u201cThe House has acted on behalf of the American people to stop President Obama\u2019s lawless action and preserve our constitutional checks and balances,\u201d said Rep. Graves. \u201cThis is one positive step in what will be a broad effort to shut down the president\u2019s plan. I am very encouraged by the lawsuit filed yesterday by seventeen states, including Georgia. The incoming Senate Republican Majority will soon work with the House to block executive amnesty. Conservative senators have already promised to use their unique powers, such as the ability to block presidential appointments. Until the president\u2019s last day in office, we must continue fighting to uphold the law and restore balance to our government.\u201d\r\n###\n                \n            \n        \n    \n    \n        Print version of this document", 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://tomgraves.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398316"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.5339489802718163, "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"}
