,mr4 ,rice of ,south ,carolina 7for

 ,lance7 submitted the following        
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,rules1 and in addition to
 the ,committee on ,house               
,administration1 for a period to be     
subsequently determined by the ,speaker1
 in each case for consideration of such 
provisions as fall within the           
jurisdiction of the committee concerned 
,,resolution  ,directing the ,house of  
,representatives to bring a civil action
 for declaratory or injunctive relief to
 challenge certain policies and actions 
taken by the executive branch relating  
to immigration4  ,whereas ,president    
,obama and officials in his             
administration have frequently          
overstepped the limits placed on        
executive branch power by the           
,constitution2 ,whereas ,president      

,obama stated he did not have the legal 
authority to take executive actions on  
immigration that he has now subsequently
 taken2 ,whereas because of ,president  
,obama's continuing failure to          
faithfully execute the laws1 his        
administration's actions cannot be      
addressed by the enactment of new laws1 
because ,congress cannot assume that the
 ,president will execute the new laws   
any more faithfully than the laws he has
 already ignored1 leaving ,congress with
 no legislative remedy to prevent the   
establishment of what is in effect an   
imperial presidency2 and ,whereas it is 
therefore necessary and appropriate for 
,congress to turn to the courts to      
ensure the faithful execution of the    
laws as required by the ,constitution3  
,now1 therefore1 be it  #a4 ,short title
