Sold out by the House

The House cleared legislation Tuesday that will keep the agency operating through the end of September after a standoff last week threatened to shutter the agency and furlough thousands of workers. The 257-167 vote sends the bill to President Barack Obama for his signature.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner, who rarely casts votes, backed the bill, along with his top lieutenants. A majority of House Republicans opposed the bill. Just 75 GOP lawmakers joined with 182 Democrats to push it across the finish line.

The legislation does nothing to rein in Obama's immigration executive orders -- a top priority of conservatives. That issue was a sticking point for weeks as Republicans tried to tie DHS funding to the repeal of the orders but the party couldn't overcome Democratic filibusters in the Senate

Did Boehner and crew just give the stamp of approval to Obama's illegal action on illegal immigrants?

Please provide evidence that this executive order is unconstitutional, using the Constitution.

Not your version of it, but the actual Constitution. I'll wait.

Be glad to be of assistance. Obama is claiming prosecutorial discretion in not enforcing existing immigration law. Essentially he is claiming that he does not have the resources to do so. However past remarks of Obama's belay his intent which is implementation of his favored immigration policy that Congress has not enacted or agreed to pay for under it's Constitutional plenary power of taxation. Since Obama is skirting the intent of a constitutionally enacted law governing immigration to achieve his ends, he is acting faithlessly in violation of The Take Care Clause (Article 2, Section 3) "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed".

Which law is he not following, that is claimed to be the so-called immigration law.

I thought the challenge was to use the Constitution to point out how Obama was violating it. That I did.
