Congress is shocked by the election results. They voted on Nov.19,2016 , to show the American people that they heard them. Barack Hussain Obama was stripped of his presidential powers. He can no longer get illegally run the US GOVERNMENT by executive order. Nor can he enact any new laws or order the military to anything! Respect is starting now!

Presidential Transition
Obama's agencies push flurry of 'midnight' actions

But in Congress, Republicans are warning them to stop and are preparing to repeal those regulations en masse.

Federal agencies are rushing out a final volley of executive actions in the last two months of Barack Obama’s presidency, despite warnings from Republicans in Congress and the reality that Donald Trump will have the power to erase much of their handiwork after Jan. 20............

Obama may be put in charge of sabotaging THE POPULIST MOVEMENT
(Which also is anything- Trump)
Obama may replace Soros, using Soros's money. Simply because he is known worldwide. And to further divide the country.

That is false. He holds all powers until Midnight on January 20th 2017 unless he is impeached before hand and that's going to happen.

House GOP Warns Obama Bureaucrats: We Will Reverse ‘Midnight Rules’

The House of Representatives passed legislation, 240-to-179, allowing Congress to undo any last-minute rules and regulations put on the books in the waning days of President Barack Obama.

“This bipartisan bill is about reviving the separation of powers to ensure our laws are written by the representatives we actually vote for – not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who are on their way out the door,” said the bill’s sponsor Rep. Darrell Issa R-CA, a former chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the current chairman of the House’s Intellectual Property Subcommittee.
“The bill helps ensure this President, and any future president, will be held in check and that their policies have the proper level of scrutiny by both Congress and the American people. I’m pleased to see the House pass this important measure and look forward to its quick passage by our colleagues in the Senate,” he said.
FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon says he’s pleased with the House vote and he committed his Washington-based logistics and policy hub for Tea Party and conservative activists to working with Capitol Hill conservatives to return law-making authority to Congress.

“The Obama administration’s regulatory agenda has been damaging to the economy and the destructive to separation of powers in Article I of the Constitution,” Brandon said.

I thought this was hysterical.
...in congress...Barack Hussain Obama was stripped of his presidential powers.

And then later
This bipartisan bill is about reviving the separation of powers

"We're making sure to separate powers by stripping you of yours!"

Unfortunately:
“The Obama administration’s regulatory agenda has been damaging to the economy and the destructive to separation of powers in Article I of the Constitution,” Brandon said

Barack Obama has been using loopholes and interpretations that are technically legal and within his scope of power.

Huge difference between "executive ordering" a "new law" that says "all illegals are welcome," and writing an executive order that says something like "Border and ICE agents will no longer arrest illegal immigrants, only process them for information."

One is writing a new law, one is determining law enforcement policy.

In practical reality the effect is like writing a new law, but legally he did not.

You want a president to have less loopholes with which to do this?
Vote better, and put in place people that don't pass 50,000 new laws and regulations a year, get people to stop looking towards government as "leaders" and needing to "do something."
Good luck with that.


The most hysterical thing, to me, is this:
The bill helps ensure this President, and any future president, will be held in check and that their policies have the proper level of scrutiny by both Congress and the American people.

They wrote and passed the freaking laws which Obama is using to push his executive actions.

This should ideally read something like "The bill helps ensure proper understanding of all potential consequences and uses of the things we pass by the people passing them (us) as to mitigate their misuse by other branches of the government when put into effect. Knowing that different representatives are going to interpret the laws and enact policy different than we might have intended. We should be wary of letting our clerks do everything and give us a synopsis, or passing things where we have to say 'we have to pass it to find out what's in it!'"

Congress' job is not to hold the president in check.
Its job is to write decent, well thought out, well defined laws.
The judicial branch is "supposed" to hold the policies of the president in "check," to determine if the enforcement of the laws is constitutional, as well as if the law itself is constitutional.

Even if something like this passes in the House and Senate the President will veto it and they don't have enough votes to over ride a veto.

Plus this isn't a bill stripping the President of all his powers it's a bill trying to prevent him from issuing a last minute executive order.
