Congressman Gowdy makes his pitch

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) sponsors a bill that would let Congress sue the president to force presidential compliance in following law passed by Congress.

I don't necessarily agree with the strategy, I believe Congress has direct means to enforce its will.

But I also like the way in which Gowdy makes his point:

I suspect Gowdy understands he's surrounded by gutless colleagues, and understands any form of challenge to the runaway president is preferable to none.

If Gowdy's bill should pass, and Obama vetoes as promised - we gain advantage. We'll have clear cut, undeniable case of Obama again snubbing Congress, and siding against the tradition of American rule of law.

Each step further revealing Obama's go-it-alone rogue nature is a step in the right direction.

More specifically:

President Obama is threatening to veto a law that would allow Congress to sue him in federal courts for arbitrarily changing or refusing to enforce federal laws because it "violates the separation of powers" by encroaching on his presidential authority.

Obama moves in dangerous directions.

If  the president doesn't cease his march toward dictatorial powers, Congress needs to quit acting like cry-babies and act with direct legislative authority. Impeachment is an option. Congress also has the power to curtail funding, and shut down government until constitutional rule of law, and balance of power are restored.

Message to Congress: Failure to act directly and decisively to bring the executive branch back in check is a dereliction of duty.
