Representative Scott DesJarlais, M.D. (TN-04) released the following statement following President Obama's 2014 State of the Union address:

"Allowing President Obama to bypass Congress to accomplish his liberal agenda will create a constitutional crisis that will impact the coequal branches of government for generations to come. Therefore, Congress must stand its ground. If the president chooses to move into the arena of ignoring the Constitution and the role of Congress, then every available Constitutional remedy to prevent his actions must be considered."
