Jim Gerlach: “The President simply has no right to decide when and to whom he is going to apply the tax.”

The Supreme Court in Raines v. Byrd made it clear that if Members want to assert an institutional injury, the executive's act must effectively nullify a prior act of Congress.

There is no question that on several occasions in recent years we have witnessed an unparalleled use of executive power to selectively apply, enforce, and even ignore duly-enacted laws.

I have provided the Committee with what I consider to be a road map of how the House can establish standing to sue the President as a means to enforce his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Do you really care about saving the identity and the taxpayer's funds that go into this program?
