At the same time. as members of the legislative branch. we have an obligation to speak out and to register our opposition when we believe that the President has exceeded his grant of Executive authority under the Constitution in a way that would undermine the separation of powers doctrine. I wish to read what a constitutional scholar has said about the Presidents Executive order and how far the President could or could not go. This is what this constitutional scholar says: Congress has said "here is the law" when it comes to those who are undocumented.... What we can do is to carve out the DREAM Act. saying young people who have basically grown up here are Americans that we should welcome. . . . But if we start broadening that. then essentially I would be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally.
