Res. 676. This legislation. which authorizes a lawsuit that the Republican Party plans to bring against President Obama. is a waste of time and a waste of money. Congress has two days before the August recess and instead of bringing up unemployment insurance. the Bring Jobs Home Act. the Fair Minimum Wage Act. the Paycheck Fairness Act. the Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act. the Employment NonDiscrimination Act. universal preK legislation reauthorization of the America COMPETES Act. reauthorization of the Export Import Bank reauthorization of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. legislation addressing global climate change. legislation to fund the federal government after September 30th of this year. gun control. comprehensive immigration reform. or any number of other issues that have stalled in the House since the Republicans took control in 2010. this is what the Republican majority has chosen to pass. The proposed lawsuit has dubious legal standing and no evident merit at all. Every administration has used the executive authority delegated to it by the Constitution and by the Congress. in the implementation and execution of our nations laws.
