The Obama administration circumvented federal law in announcing it would waive the work requirements in welfare, a GAO review found, saying that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) should have submitted the new policy to Congress for review.
At issue is whether the policy falls under the purview of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that requires all administrative changes of policy or regulation be submitted to Congress for review and possible disapproval.


The GAO, in a letter to House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and Senate Finance Committee ranking member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), said that the July 12 change in policy falls under the CRA and should have been submitted to Congress for approval.

GAO: Obama Admin Circumvented Law with Welfare Waivers | cnsnews.com

welfare work requirement, anyone?

clinton vetoed it twice

this admin is imperious, it feels the law, like public education, is for other people

the sequester deadline, mandated by the transparency act obama signed last month, is come and gone

his work-amnesty for illegals, a de facto expansion of dream legislation both houses voted DOWN

his abrogation of senate prerogative per recess appointments---from now on the executive branch will determine what is and what is not pro forma

his catch and release policy---why are ice agents suing his dhs?

the pentagon's failure to comply with MOVE, disenfranchising our soldiers fighting in OBAMA'S WAR

the letter from hilda solis at labor suggesting defense contractors need not heed WARN legislation

how bout the time dave the ax tried to pressure gallup, how bout holder the hoodlum siccing the doj on the venerable pollster

work requirement, huh?

kinda strange that hhs has to skirt the law, no?
 
Obama is leading from his behind -- again. And letting his thugs run rampant over the law. When was the last time Obama actually put in a full day's work in his office?

Not that I agree with what Obama did, but didn't you guys also say Obamacare was unconsitutional. You guys sure do have a track record of being wrong.

We said ObamaCare was unconstitutional because we (foolishly) believed the Democrat claim that the mandate was not a tax... :roll:
