Texas is about the rule of law and defending the integrity of our great institution of government. We are a constitutional Republic. And yet. the Presidents mass deferred action on deportation of individuals residing within our country illegally would make it seem more like we are living in a dictatorship. The Constitution is clear on the issues of legislation. Article I. section 1 explicitly states: "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States. which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." Let that sink in for a moment. "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States. which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." Article I. section 8. clause 4: "to establish a uniform rule of naturalization." That is solely the responsibility of this body. Take notice of the absence of any reference to the executive office. executive branch. or judicial branch. Article II. section 3. however. states that the President "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." It is referred to as the Take Care Clause.
