Sen. Ted Cruz: Pres. Obama Is Usurping Congressional Power, and Dems Are Applauding It

By: American Decency Staff

President Obama is amassing unchecked power and setting a dangerous precedent for future leaders, warned Senator Ted Cruz on Tuesday’s Secure Freedom Radio.

Senator Cruz pointed to a signing statement made by President Obama on Good Friday as the most recent example of the Commander in Chief taking US law as mere suggestion. The statement in question was on a law, voted for unanimously in the US Senate and House of Representatives, barring foreign terrorists from serving as diplomats within the US. It came as a result of Iran’s decision to appoint Hamid Aboutalebi as its Ambassador to the UN.

“One of the most dismaying aspects of the Obama Administration has been that this president seems to regard all legislation as advisory. He said so explicitly here that the legislation was now written in the law books as part of US code, but if he so desired he might ignore it some time in the future,” said Cruz.

Cruz referenced immigration, marriage, welfare, and healthcare as other areas in which Obama has played it fast and loose with the law. But just as concerning as Obama’s behavior, Cruz emphasized, is the acceptance Democrats have for it.
