John Conyers actually said...

"We have all studied the relevant legal parameters and wish to express our collective view that the President's actions are well within his legal authority."

"These actions are not only appropriate, but they are lawful."

"President Obama did not change the law. He acted within the law consistent with the Constitution and past precedent."

"They can do what we were elected to do. They can come to the table and work to pass a real immigration reform bill."
