I always have been a huge fan of Gowdy...sorry if Germans, but found this interesting. They show their appreciation for probably the only candidate to pull this off for the Republican party and all of a sudden, they want to get tough.

To a certain degree, Congress doing what the constitution says they should do, and the President not engaging in things he shouldn't be doing is a solid way to MAGA.

I just wonder why all these Obama fighters weren't so big on fighting Obama, but now they want to try to put brakes on the train and keep Trump from MAGA.

What gives, GOPe?

If you watch gowdy, he is all about separation of powers and checks and balances. That speech about Obama bypassing congress was epic. He has always wanted executive power kept in check.

This is a good thing. No matter what Obama thinks we do not live in a dictatorship.

I 100% support this. The last two Presidents have done more to strip power from the legislative branch than the 10 before them combined. We need a redistribution of power out of the executive.

You can't have it both ways. Nobody liked Obama's executive orders and rightfully so.
