Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is proposing legislation to nullify President Obama's executive actions on gun policy, claiming that the president's actions are a breach of constitutional separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.

During a Wednesday appearance on Fox News' "Hannity," the Republican senator outlined his plan to challenge Obama's anti-gun violence package.

"Our founding fathers were very concerned about us having separation of powers. They didn't want to let the president become a king." Paul said. "In this bill, we will nullify anything the president does that smacks of legislation."

Paul continued: "I'm afraid that President Obama may have this king complex sort of developing ... I think there's a history of this arrogance."

Talking Points Memo offered more details on Paul's plan:

“We only have descriptions of the executive actions, yet many could be construed to describe an attempt by the executive to make laws in violation of the Article 1, Sec. 8 of the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment,” reads the one-page summary of the Paul plan shared with TPM by his staff.

Paul’s bill will set out to nullify Obama’s executive actions, deny any federal funding for their implementation, and allow members of Congress and state officials to challenge the actions in court.​

Paul acknowledged that he may have trouble garnering support for his proposal in the Senate, where Democrats hold the majority.

the assault weapons ban simply wont get past the house, Im guessing its even being floated to give republicans an out, a trophy to hold up in the air and say "look what we saved you from" in exchange for their inevitable cave in on whether we pay our bills.
 
Well, Obama released the executive orders. What is Rand going to "nullify", exactly?

He's not the KING and neither are you and your FASCIST friends. Co-Equal branches which means Congress is EQUAL to the executive branch, GET IT?

You really need to work on your GED...

YOU are an example of public school education. Completely ignorant of US Goverment. It's called SEPARATION OF POWERS STOOOOOPID and it's in the Constitution. There are 3 BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, CO-EQUAL.. My God you're scary!

The premise of this thread is that Rand Paul is going to try to "nullify" President Obama's Executive Orders, should he make them.

And he did, today. He release his list of executive actions regarding guns, and I was wondering what exactly about them you guys thought was executive overreach, and how Rand Paul was going to "nullify" them.

The use of Executive Orders has always been a recognized power of the Executive.
