Representative Steven Palazzo (R-Mississippi) introduced a resolution to censure Barack Obama for his executive order on guns.
It's the most direct action that a congressional Republican has taken against Obama after he rolled out a series of executive actions this week in an effort to close loopholes related to gun purchases and background checks.
Palazzo's resolution reads, "That the House of Representatives does hereby censure and condemn Barack Obama for having willfully disregarded the legislative powers of the duly elected Congress provided by the Constitution of the United States through his executive actions to deprive American citizens of their constitutionally-mandated right to bear arms under the Second Amendment."
The Congressman said in a statement the censure is the "best way we can fight and win" against the executive actions Obama released.
Republicans have few legislative options at their disposal to fight back until the 2017 appropriations process begins. Already Republicans have promised to cut off funding to the Department of Justice to implement the programs.
