Open R*******n: Chaos if Republicans Dont Withhold Funding for Obama Executive Amnesty
Conservatives say that Republican leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, will be complicit in President Barack Obamas planned executive amnesty if they dont pull out all the stops to block him.
They warn that chaos is around the corner if thats how it goes down, even though theyd much rather have Republican leaders fight the president alongside them.
Fight or be complicit in lawlessness, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Breitbart News, is the message to congressional GOP leaders on Obamas amnesty.
If Republicans move forward with the plan from House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) to fund the entire governmentincluding Obamas executive amnesty, which the president is set to announce on Thursday nightin an omnibus spending bill, a Senate GOP aide told Breitbart News conservatives will spread chaos across Washington.
If Obama announces executive amnesty and the House passes an omnibus with no language blocking it, there will be no Senate v**e, because conservatives will burn down the Capitol, the aide said. When asked to clarify if he was serious theyd burn the building to the groundor if he was speaking metaphoricallythe aide said open r*******n.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), one of many Republicans conference-wide who will be helping lead the charge to force Boehner to stop Obama, told Breitbart News that Republicans must stand and fightand that they can and must win.
Even though around three-quarters of v**ers this year opposed the idea of executive amnesty, President Obama is apparently going to announce his new royal amnesty decree before going to Las Vegas to promote it, Gohmert said, adding:
Quote :
Perhaps Caesars Palace is an appropriate venue for the American Caesars regal proclamation that gambles away jobs for Americans. As an equal branch of government where legislation must originate, Congress must either fight it or we will be complicit in this amnesty as royal subjects and the democratic republic will be gone. Now is the time that Republicans need to stand strong for the principles for which the majority of American v**ers sent them to Washington. Dissatisfaction with the White House and Senate over amnesty issues was a significant reason the American people added Republican seats in the House and Republican control of the Senate. Congress must protect the Constitution and the American public from such a decree from Mt. Olympus that declares a state of lawlessness in America.
Elsewhere, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wrote for Politico that Obama is not a monarch and Congress cant allow him to succeed:
Quote :
The Constitution designs a system of checks and balances for our nation, and executive amnesty for immigrants here illegally unilaterally decreed from the White House would seriously undermine the rule of law. Our founders repeatedly warned about the dangers of unlimited power within the executive branch; Congress should heed those words as the President threatens to grant amnesty to millions of people who have come to our country illegally.
Incoming Senate Budget Committee chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said that Congress should fund the government while blocking funding for this unconstitutional act by Obama:
Quote :
President Obama previously said he could not issue an executive amnesty because Im the President of the United States, Im not the emperor of the United States. My job is to execute laws that are passed. Well, apparently we now have an Emperor of the United States. President Obamas immigration order would provide i*****l i*******ts with the exact benefits Congress has repeatedly rejected: Social Security numbers, photo IDs and work permitswhich will allow them to now take jobs directly from struggling Americans in every occupation. Congress must not allow this unconstitutional action. That means Congress should fund the government while ensuring that no funds can be spent on this unlawful purpose.
George Rasley, the editor of Vigueries ConservativeHQ, told Breitbart News Republicans have a mandate from the v**ers to stop Obama.
Obamas extra-constitutional attempt to grant amnesty to millions of i*****l a***ns flies in the face of the results of the 2014 wave, Rasley said. If the Nov. 4 e******n was a demand for anything, it was a demand by grassroots American v**ers for a return to constitutional government.
Heritage Action spokesman Dan Holler told Breitbart News that any long-term funding bill is a blank check for Obamas amnesty.
Heritage Action welcomes creative thinking from congressional Republicans so long as creativity is not a synonym for inaction or delay, Holler said. Congress must use every tool at their disposal to block the Presidents executive amnesty. A long-term funding bill is little more than a blank check for amnesty.
Glyn Wright, the executive director of Phyllis Schlaflys Eagle Forum, told Breitbart News that since immigration is such an important issue Republicans need to fight this and block Obama. Immigration is the issue that defines all other issues, and the American people know it, Wright said. Thats why the President waited until after the midterm e******ns to take this action, and why v**ers gave the GOP a historical majority in the House and control of the Senate. If the Republicans want to be seen as viable and worthy of the power they have been given, they must stop this unprecedented and lawless act.
Schlafly herself added that Obama is offending Americans with the executive order.
Every action Obama is taking on amnesty is illegal, unconstitutional and offensive to the majority of the American v**ers, Schlafly said.
A letter being circulated around the conservative movement and sent to all Republican members of Congresssigned by top conservative luminaries, including Ronald Reagans Attorney General Ed Meese, former Rep. David McIntosh, and morecalls on Republicans to use the power of the purse to block Obamas amnesty. Other signers of the letter include Heritage Action CEO Mike Needham, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, ForAmerica chairman Brent Bozell, RedStates Erick Erickson, Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony List, former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli of the Senate Conservatives Fund, Tea Party Patriots Jenny Beth Martin, Let Freedom Rings Colin Hanna, Eagle Forums Phyllis Schlafly, ConservativeHQs Richard Viguerie, Conservative Leadership PACs Morton Blackwell, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, former Reagan advisers Becky Norton Dunlop and Kenneth Cribb, Jr., Al Regnery, former Rep. Bob McEwen, and others.
Passage of a long term Continuing Resolution (CR) would rob newly elected members of the ability to begin making spending decisions and would remove a key leverage point they will have with President Obama to further pursue our agenda, they write.
Conservatives will be watching these next few weeks very closely, they add. We urge you to begin earning the trust placed in you by passing a short term CR, stopping President Obamas planned executive amnesty, going home, and returning in January to pursue the agenda that the American people sent you here to enact.

The Concurrent Resolution Of Congress they are pushing for a v**e on cites Article I, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution which reads: 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. The resolution reads:
Quote :
And whereas it is the Constitutional right and duty of the Congress of the United States to exercise vigilance in protecting this sovereign legislative power from any encroachments by other branches of government or any other source whatsoever; And whereas Barack Obama, the President of the United States, may issue a purported Executive Order that has the effect of changing the law and policy of the United States relative to the status of millions of i*****l a***ns currently residing within the United States; And whereas his argument that he must act because the Congress has not acted regarding the status has no valid standing in law under the Constitution.
The resolution concludes by saying that Congress considers wh**ever executive action about to be taken null and void.
It is the sense of Congress that this purported Executive Order is a usurpation of the legislative power vested solely in the Congress of the United States and, as such, is null and void, the resolution says. And be it further resolved that the Congress of the United States will use all of its Constitutional powers, particularly the power of the purse, to prevent the implementation of the provisions of said Executive Order.
There's much more.
