Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) has issued the following statement on his support of the End Executive Overreach Act:

“During our nation’s founding, James Madison expressed his fear that one branch of the federal government could accumulate too much power when he said, ‘The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands…may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.’ This is exactly what the administration is attempting to do, and I will not let up until this power grab is stopped.

“The ‘End Executive Overreach Act’ will reassert Congress’ power of the purse by defunding all new executive orders until the next president takes office. This bill will eliminate this administration’s ability to force enormous, harmful regulations onto the backs of hardworking taxpayers by suspending all agency regulatory authority through January 20, 2017.

“This greatly needed measure is the answer to a problem years in the making – an administration that inserts itself into every aspect of our daily lives. Sometimes the best government is one that governs the least, a foreign concept to the current administration. I am an original co-sponsor of this bill, which will restore lawmaking authority to the legislative branch - for which it was intended - and reassert the people’s control over their own government.”
