By and large. this country is founded upon the rule of law. and this tilts that balance. By circumventing Congress. the Presidents actions have marginalized the role that the American people play in creating the laws that govern them. Specifically. the President has waived work requirements for welfare recipients. unilaterally changed immigration laws. released the Gitmo Five without properly notifying Congress. which is the law. and ignored the statutory requirements of the Affordable Care Act. We have chosen to bring this legislation forth today to sue the President over his selective implementation of the Affordable Care Act because it is the option most likely to clear the legal hurdles necessary to succeed and to restore the balance between the branches intended by the Founders. This administration has effectively rewritten the law without following the constitutional process.
