Republican congressman Raul Labrador called on Congress to formally rebuke President Obama for his executive actions on immigration.
“We should censure the president of the United States,” Labrador told Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation Sunday. “We need to lay out clearly why this is unlawful.”
Representative Steve King (R., Iowa) has also called for censuring the president as a way to go on record opposing him short of impeachment. The move, while relatively rare in the nation’s history, would not be without precedent.
Labrador called for coupling censure with a funding bill that would not fund the Department of Homeland Security. He added that Congress should “require the president of the United States to go through a comment period,” similar to that undergone by regulatory agencies.
