What our Founding
Fathers envisioned was each branch of government would jealously
protect the power vested in it through the Constitution. They didn't
imagine that there would be a Congress that would be in opposite--they
actually didn't imagine the two-party system, as I understand some of
the history that I read, but they didn't envision that there would be a
Republican majority in the House, a Republican majority in the Senate,
and a Democrat President who clearly, openly, and blatantly defined it
in advance and then violated the Constitution. Our Founding Fathers never expected that this House of
Representatives would sit on its hands and simply let that Constitution
be violated for 2 years or longer just on DACA alone. But that
happened. I brought amendments to the floor time after time after time
that cut off the Federal funding that supported the unconstitutional
acts of the President of the United States.
