Paul Introduces Bill to Prevent President Obamas Executive Amnesty	2014-12-12	2014	2014-12	Republican	House	KY	Rand Paul	P000603	web.archive.org			legacy	Skip to Content Home About Rand About Kentucky Issues Services News Contact Sen. Paul Introduces Bill to Prevent President Obamas Executive Amnesty Senator Rand Paul today introduced the Preventing Executive Overreach on Immigration Act. This is companion legislation to Congressman Ted Yoho's bill (H.R. 5759) that passed the House of Representatives on December 4, 2014 on a 219-197 vote. This legislation would end President Obama's executive action on immigration and restore the Congress' constitutional role as the body to craft legislation. Article I of the Constitution places the legislative powers in Congress. The President does not have the power under the Constitution to rewrite immigration laws to exempt classes of people from a law that was passed by Congress and signed into law. "I believe that the Constitution is clear that the legislative power resides in Congress. The President is not a king and he does not have the power to enact laws then execute his own laws. Our Constitution is being violated by this executive order and other actions by the Obama Administration to govern by executive fiat," Sen. Paul stated.
