On the recordFebruary 26, 2015
I would ask the Senator from Maine--you are not alone--and the President is not alone--in stating your objections to the 2014 order. Your amendment would seek to get a vote and to put Senators on record. Is the Senator aware that there are a number--perhaps seven or eight Senators on the other side of the aisle who at different times around the November 2014 order said they were uncomfortable with the President taking this authority unto himself? In other words, I think the junior Senator from Maine was one who said that while he may agree with the outcome, this is not the right way to do it. Are you familiar with the fact that there are many of our Democratic friends who have expressed similar concerns about the illegality of the President's Executive action?
