Congressman Steve King released the following statement after submitting his defund ObamaCare implementation amendment to the Omnibus Spending bill: It is the obligation of Congress to restore its Article I Constitutional authority and the balance of power, said King. This Omnibus is the best opportunity to support and defend our Constitutional authority. ObamaCare was passed by hook, crook and legislative shenanigan and has been rejected by the American people multiple times. Since passage, the President has unilaterally ignored the law to delay mandates, rewrite the bills language related to exchanges and move to bailout co-ops and insurance companies without oversight or Congressional input. At this point our options are to defund the implementation of ObamaCare until we have the right President who will enforce the will of the American people. This is the first of nine amendments that I submitted to make the Omnibus spending bill a bill that fulfills the promises we all made to our constituents in 2014 and which restores Article I Constitutional authority to Congress.
