“Missourians are rightly concerned about executive overreach and excessive regulation by the Obama administration,” Blunt said. “I introduced the ENFORCE the Law Act in the Senate with the support of more than half of my Republican colleagues, and I’ll keep fighting to stop runaway executive branch power and force President Obama to uphold the Constitution.”

Blunt’s bill would allow Congress to authorize a court case against the executive branch for failure to execute the laws it has passed. The House passed his bill in March and later voted to sue Obama.

The Senate hasn’t taken up the legislation and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has criticized House Republicans for wasting time and taxpayer dollars on the lawsuit.
