Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) joined with several conservatives in passing H. Res. 639, a resolution authorizing the Speaker of the House to appear as amicus curiae on behalf of the House of Representatives regarding the pending Supreme Court case, United States, et al. v. Texas, et al. Rep. Loudermilk issued the following statement regarding the resolution:
“This is about protecting the Constitution and the separation of powers; it’s about Congress taking back its constitutional authority. By authorizing Speaker Ryan to appear as amicus curiae, it sends a strong message to the Supreme Court that Congress means business. Our legislative body will no longer tolerate the president’s executive overreach in creating and implementing law. That’s our job, not his – the Constitution makes that very clear. I’m proud to be among other conservatives in Congress who are devoted to returning to an orderly policymaking process and restoring our constitutional authority to govern.”
H. Res. 639 passed the House by a vote of 234 to 186.
