A proposed bill prefiled in the Missouri state House of Representatives would provide a means for unconstitutional executive orders to have no legal effect in the state.
State Representative Tim Remole (shown) is the author of House Bill 1791, a bill that would oblige the state legislature to “adopt and enact any and all measures as may be necessary to prevent the enforcement of regulations, rules, and memorandums issued by a presidential executive order.”
Remole rightly includes in his measure a statement explaining that executive orders that are issued in defiance of the enumerated authority granted by the states to the president are “repugnant to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Missouri.”
Later in the legislation, Remole uses language consistent with statements by the Founding Fathers, declaring these unconstitutional presidential fiats to be “null void and of no effect” in Missouri.
