Judd Gregg: “First, the President's order is clearly in violation, in my humble opinion and I think a lot of other people's opinion…”

On the recordSeptember 28, 1995
First, the President's order is clearly in violation, in my humble opinion and I think a lot of other people's opinion in this body, of the separation of powers. It does not lie in the President's prerogative to step forward into this arena and unilaterally take action which is basically a legislative action which is exactly what the President's Executive order has done. Therefore, on that count alone, people should be voting in favor of proceeding because, if you do not, you are basically voting to transfer power from the legislative branch to the executive branch.
