The President Is Not Above The Constitution

March 17, 2016

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (KS-02) voted to authorize the filing of an amicus curiae brief against the White House’s position in U.S. v Texas. This Supreme Court case involves the President’s executive actions on immigration that would prevent the deportation of five million illegal immigrants. Afterward, Congresswoman Jenkins released the following statement:

“Last year, President Obama decided to ignore the United States Constitution and attempted to govern through his pen rather than by the law, allowing millions of illegal immigrants to stay in America in the process. Yet, the courts have consistently struck down the President’s unconstitutional executive overreach. I will continue to fight against the President’s unlawful executive actions and remind him that our government is a system of checks and balances – he cannot act alone.”
