SCOTUS Unanimously Strikes Down Obama's Executive Overreach for the 12th Time Since January 2012
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch Legal
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the NLRB v. Noel Canning decision:
"Today, the Supreme Court invalidated President Obama's unlawful abuse of the President's recess appointments power. President Obama ignored the plain text of the Constitution and attempted to make unilateral recess appointments--circumventing the checks and balances of confirmation--when the Senate was not, in fact, in recess. Today, a unanimous Court rightly rejected that presidential abuse of power. This marks the twelfth time since January 2012 that the Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the Obama Administration's calls for greater federal executive power."
