Sessions slams Obama for bypassing congress again: ‘He doesn’t get to make laws!’

The Obama Administration has decided to go around Congress once again and unilaterally make it easier for individuals with incidental or loose ties to terrorism to get into the United States.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., for one, does not think it is a good idea and is voicing his displeasure with the policy change, as well as with President Obama’s decision to work outside the bounds the Constitution places on his office.

“It will lead to increased danger that terrorists will slip by,” Sessions told Fox News. ” And it doesn’t have to be many. It could be 100 applicants and one of them be a terrorist, two or three be connected to terrorism, and we miss them.”

Sessions categorized Obama’s insistence on bypassing Congress as “a threat” to the rule of law that has governed the country since its founding.

“It’s a very great threat to the United States of America and our Constitutional order,” Sessions said. “Under the law, the president is required to execute, carry out and enforce laws passed by congress. He doesn’t get to make laws.”

Democrats, however, praised the rule change, saying the original interpretation of the law had been too broad, resulting in refugees and asylees being barred from the United States for actions or connections that were incidental and did not present any threat to the country.”
