House Republicans have pushed ahead with a measure to sue President Obama, claiming he has violated the Constitution through several executive orders.
Nebraska Republican Congressman Adrian Smith defends the lawsuit, calling it an effort to protect the Constitution by standing up to the president. . .

 

Smith claims Obama has violated the Constitution’s separation of powers through a number of executive orders…including steps to suspend enforcement of provisions in the federal health care law that the president pushed through Congress. . .

Smith acknowledges the lawsuit is unprecedented, but argues the president’s actions to skirt Congress are unprecedented.
