Thursday on Newsmax TV’s “MidPoint,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said while there is not a lot that can be done to stop President Barack Obama’s lawless executive action amnesty now, it will change in January when the Republican Party takes control of the U.S. Senate. Paul said he hope to make Obama “rue the day” he attempted to destroy the United States’ constitutional system of a separation of powers.

“I think [Obama] fundamentally misunderstands the Constitution and the nature of the republic,” Paul said.

He added the worst thing the president is doing is “destroying the concept of the separation of powers.”

The Kentucky senator vowed, “We will fight him on this and he will hopefully rue the day he decided to take on this power that is not his.”
