How to Rebuke a President
"For responding to a president who defies his constitutional limits,
Congress is said to possess four powers: to impeach, to defund, to
investigate, and to withhold confirmation of nominees.
But there is a fifth recourse, which the new Republican Congress might
consider in view of President Obama’s executive amnesty for illegal
immigrants: the power to censure. In fact, censure could work in tandem
with Congress’s other powers, helping the legislature make the moral
case for responding to the president’s lawlessness."
