Press Release from Representative George Holding FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 20, 2014 PERMALINK The President Struck A Blow To Our System of Checks and Balances WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman George Holding (NC-13) released the following statement in response to President Obamas executive actions on immigration: The issue, after the presidents address tonight, is no longer whether Congress and the president can agree on an immigration policy. The question is: Does a president have the power to alter laws without passing new statutes? Throughout our history the answer has been no. These are strong words but, tonight, in pursuit of a political agenda, President Obama struck a blow at the checks and balances system that has been at the heart of our government – and our Constitution – for over 200 years. Whether you are Democrat or Republican, whether you agree or disagree with the presidents policy on immigration, you cannot agree with his actions – no man has the power to be both president and legislator. ###
