Collins Votes to Sue Obama

Press Release

Congressman Doug Collins this evening voted to authorize the House of Representatives to sue President Barack Obama for his failure to execute his responsibilities set forth in the United States Constitution. H. Res. 676 gives the House the authority to initiate a lawsuit based on President Obama's repeated changes to and selective enforcement of his own healthcare legislation, completely circumventing the role and authority of the entire legislative branch.

Congressman Collins said: "Our constitution was written and our government designed so that one person cannot force his or her will on the entire country. President Obama has exceeded every limit of his power to do just that. This lawsuit is far from frivolous or unnecessary--it has precedent and it is one of the clearest actions of accountability at our disposal now. To assert the authority of Congress is to assert the authority of the people Congress directly represents. Any vote against this measure was made out of nothing more than divisive and destructive political loyalty."
