,mc,clintock1 and ,mr4 ,wilson of ,south
 ,carolina7 submitted the following     
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on the ,judiciary            
,,resolution  ,expressing disapproval of
 the failure to satisfy the             
constitutional duty to take ,care that  
the ,laws be faithfully executed and the
 usurpation of the legislative authority
 of ,congress by the ,president of the  
,united ,states4  ,whereas ,article ,i  
of the ,united ,states ,constitution    
vests ,congress with all legislative    
powers2 ,whereas ,article ,,ii1 ,section
 #c of the ,united ,states ,constitution
 imposes a duty on the ,president to    

take ,care that the ,laws be faithfully 
executed2 ,whereas the ,constitution    
does not delegate authority to the      
,president to rewrite1 amend1 or delay  
duly-enacted1 constitutional laws2      
,whereas the take care duty has roots in
 ,anglo-,american law dating back to the
 ,glorious ,revolution of #agth century 
,britain1 to wit1 the ,english ,bill of 
,rights of #afhi provided that the      
pretended power of suspending laws1 or  
the execution of laws1 by regal         
authority1 without the consent of       
parliament1 is illegal2 ,whereas        
,president ,george ,washington explained
 the ,constitution's ,take ,care ,clause
 as follows3 ,it is my duty to see the  
,laws executed3 to permit them to be    
trampled with impunity would be         
repugnant to that duty2 ,whereas ,thomas
 ,jefferson observed that if the        
equilibrium of the three great bodies1  
,legislative1 ,executive and ,judiciary1
 could be preserved1 if the ,legislature
 could be kept independent1 he would    

never fear the result of such a         
government1 but that he could not but be
 uneasy when ,i saw that the ,executive 
had swallowed up the ,legislative       
branch2 ,whereas ,alexander ,hamilton   
explained in ,the ,federalist ,no4 #fi  
that1 under the ,constitution1 the      
,president can prescribe no rules       
concerning the commerce or currency of  
the nation2 ,whereas ,james ,madison    
wrote in ,the ,federalist ,no4 #dg that 
the accumulation of all powers1         
legislative1 executive and judiciary1 in
 the same hands1 whether of one1 a few1 
or many1 and whether hereditary1        
self-appointed1 or elective1 may justly 
be pronounced the very definition of    
tyranny2 ,whereas the text of the       
,patient ,protection and ,affordable    
,care ,act requires that the ,shared    
,responsibility for ,employers          
,regarding ,health ,coverage provision1 
commonly known as the employer mandate1 
shall apply to months beginning after   
,december #ca1 #bjac2 ,whereas1 on ,july

 #b1 #bjac1 the executive branch        
announced that the ,president           
unilaterally rewrote the employer       
mandate provision to apply to the months
 applying after ,december #ca1 #bjad2   
,whereas1 on ,july #ag1 #bjac1 the      
,house of ,representatives passed a bill
 to delay the employer mandate by       
statute2 ,whereas the ,president        
threatened to veto the lawful change    
proposed by the ,house even though it   
was precisely the statutory change he   
instituted by executive fiat2 ,whereas  
the ,patient ,protection and ,affordable
 ,care ,act renders insurance policies  
that fail to contain what the government
 defines as essential minimum benefits  
to be illegal2 ,whereas millions of     
,americans are losing their individual  
health insurance policies because such  
policies do not qualify for grandfather 
status under the statute2 ,whereas1 on  
,november #ad1 #bjac1 the ,president    
announced that he would extend the      
statute's grandfather clause to include 

plans not protected under the statute2  
,whereas1 on ,november #ae1 #bjac1 the  
,house of ,representatives passed a bill
 to overrule the provisions of the      
,patient ,protection and ,affordable    
,care ,act that are causing mass        
cancellations of insurance policies2 and
 ,whereas1 on ,november #ae1 #bjac1 the 
,president threatened to veto the lawful
 statutory change proposed by the ,house
 of ,representatives3 ,now1 therefore1  
be it ,that the ,house of               
,representatives-- 7#a7 disapproves of  
the ,president's failure to take ,care  
that the ,laws be faithfully executed as
 required by the ,constitution2  7#b7   
disapproves of the ,president's         
usurpation of the legislative power of  
,congress through the rewriting of key  
provisions of the ,patient ,protection  
and ,affordable ,care ,act2 and  7#c7   
reaffirms that the preservation of the  
,constitution's separation of powers is 
essential for the protection of         
individual liberty and the maintenance  

of the rule of law4
