Rep. Steve King considering bill to repeal everything Obama has signed


If Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has his way, everything President Obama has signed into law would be repealed, and he is considering a bill to do just that, The Hill reported Wednesday.
"King put forward this suggestion to an Iowa audience on Tuesday, when he also reiterated his threat to sue the Obama administration for its June decision not to deport younger illegal immigrants," Pete Kasperowicz wrote.
He also told a group of about 60 people in Humboldt County that he intends to sue the administration over an executive orderstopping the deportation of certain illegal immigrants.
''I am bringing him to court and we're going to defend the Constitution of the United States and the separation of powers,'' he said.
According to the Messenger, King's lawsuit may be filed before Labor Day.
"He said Tuesday that he decided to sue the president the day the executive order was announced," the Messenger reported.
King said that President Obama violated the Constitution by usurping Congress' role in the lawmaking process.
''He has prosecutorial discretion, but he does not have the ability to grant blanket amnesty to entire classes of people," he added.
While King's proposal would certainly undo ObamacareThink Progress said it would also end the Bush-era tax cuts that Obama extended in 2010, defund the military, strip Medals of Honor from 9/11 first responders and cancel plans to honor President Ronald Reagan.
