25 Violations of Law By President Obama and His Administration

25 Violations of Law
By President Obama and His Administration

  1. Obama Administration uses IRS to target conservative, Christian and pro-Israel organizations, donors, and citizens.
  2. In an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment, the Obama Justice Department ordered criminal investigations of FOX News reporters for doing their jobs during the 2012 election year.
  3. President Obama, throughout his Presidency, has refused to enforce long-established U.S. immigration laws. For example . . .


    • More than 300,000 captured illegal aliens had been processed and were awaiting deportation. But, incredibly, Obama stopped these deportations and ordered the U.S. border patrol to release many of these illegal aliens in violation of law and without explanation.
    • Congress rejected Obama's so called DREAM ACT – which would have granted permanent residency to many illegal aliens. So Obama enacted his own version of the DREAM ACT by Executive Order, thus directly defying Congress. According to Obama's Executive Order, illegal aliens can stay in America if they are under the age of 30, have been in America for at least five years, are enrolled in school or have graduated from high school, and have committed no felonies.
  4. Obama has refused to build a double-barrier security fence along the U.S.-Mexican border in direct violation of the 2006 Secure Fence Act. This law requires that "at least two layers of reinforced fencing" be built along America's 650-mile border with Mexico. So far, just 40 miles of this fence have been built – most of it during the Bush Administration.
  5. Obama's unconstitutional assault on your Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
    President Obama issued, in one day, 21 separate Executive Orders that attack and undermine your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
    Especially egregious is President Obama's Executive Orders amending the ObamaCare law to allow doctors and hospitals to investigate which patients own a gun. This outrageous Executive Order could allow the federal government to track and monitor law-abiding gun owners simply because they sought medical care.
  6. Obama's assault on Christians and religious freedom.
    Obama's Health and Human Services Department has, on its own (without Congressional approval), issued a mandate that all health insurance plans must include coverage for abortion-inducing drugs. As a result, pro-life employers and taxpayers are now effectively required by law to pay for abortions.
    This mandate is an unconstitutional attack on the protections for freedom of religion and freedom of conscience in the First Amendment and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This mandate also directly violates the ObamaCare law enacted by Congress, which prohibits any and all taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions.
  7. Obama forced ObamaCare on an unwilling public through bribery and lying about its cost.
    Obama managed to secure passage of ObamaCare by one vote in the Senate by bribing senators. He bribed Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska with the notorious "Cornhusker Kickback." He bribed Senator Mary Landrieu with the infamous $300 million "Louisiana Purchase."
    In addition, Obama knowingly and blatantly lied to America and to Congress about how much ObamaCare would really cost. The cost of ObamaCare to the American people over the next 10 years will not be less than $1 TRILLION, as Obama promised in his nationally televised speech to the nation. Instead, the real cost of ObamaCare to the Federal Treasury is $2.4 TRILLION, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
    But the true cost of ObamaCare is more like $10 TRILLION when you factor in the cost to the states, the cost to individual Americans who are now required to purchase Obama-approved health plans (the "Individual Mandate"), the cost of exploding health insurance premiums, the $716 billion ObamaCare steals from Medicare, and the increased cost to businesses of complying with ObamaCare mandates.
  8. Operation Fast & Furious.
    "Operation Fast & Furious" was the Obama Administration's gun-running scheme that put thousands of American-made semi-automatic weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels and resulted in the death of at least one U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry. Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress and the public, claiming he didn't know about his Justice Department's Fast & Furious operation.
    Congress has now held Holder in contempt for defying congressional subpoenas and refusing to turn over thousands of Justice Department documents on Fast & Furious. President Obama asserted Executive Privilege to try to protect Holder. But for Executive Privilege to apply, Obama would have had to have known about Fast & Furious, making the President as culpable as Holder.
    Investigators suspect that Fast & Furious was an effort by the Obama Administration to discredit lawful gun ownership in America by purposefully creating gun crimes, thus inducing public outcry for gun control. When it put thousands of semi-automatic weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, the Obama Justice Department knew these guns would be used to commit crimes, perhaps even kill some Americans. Then Obama could say: "See how dangerous these guns are. We must ban them."
  9. "Federal Communications Commission (FCC): Regulated the Internet despite a court order from the Circuit Court of Appeals for Washington, D.C. stating that the FCC does not have the power to regulate the Internet." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  10. "Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Imposed Cross-State Air Pollution Rules on the state of Texas at the last minute and without an opportunity for Texas to respond to the proposed regulation. EPA overreach was based on a dubious claim that air pollution from Texas affected a single air-quality monitor in Granite City, Illinois more than 500 miles and three states away from Texas." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  11. "Department of Justice (DOJ): Rejected state voter ID statutes that are similar to those already approved by the Supreme Court of the United States. DOJ ignored section 8 of the Voting Rights Act which calls for protections against voter fraud, and used section 5 to administratively block measures to protect the integrity of elections passed by state legislatures." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  12. "DOJ: In violation of 10th Amendment, sued to prevent Arizona from using reasonable measures to discourage illegal immigration within its borders. Arizona has a large number of illegal immigrants, compared to other states, and needs to be able to act to reduce the number." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  13. "DOJ: Went to court to stop enforcement of Alabama's immigration reform laws, which require collection of the immigration status of public school students, require businesses to use E-Verify, and prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving public benefits." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  14. "White House: Made "recess appointments" to the National Labor Relations Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when Congress was NOT in recess. The Obama Administration has ignored the ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that the appointments are unconstitutional." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  15. "Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC): Interfered with a Michigan church's selection of its own ministers by trying to force the church to reinstate a minister who was discharged for her disagreement with the religious doctrine of the church." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  16. "Department of Energy (DOE): In 2009, the Obama Administration arbitrarily broke federal law, violated various contracts, and derailed the most studied energy project in American history at Yucca Mountain by denying it a license, thus costing the American people more than $31 billion." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  17. Department of the Interior (DOI): Forced Glendale, a family-oriented town in Arizona, to become another Las Vegas against its will by granting "reservation status" to a 54-acre plot in the town, where the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation plans to build a resort and casino." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)
  18. Without Congressional approval, Obama gutted the work requirement for welfare recipients passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
  19. In the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, Obama illegally shortchanged bond holders in favor of Labor Unions, despite U.S. bankruptcy laws that specify that bond holders be first in line to be paid back.
  20. Eager to use the killing of Osama bin Laden for political gain, Obama exposed the identity and method of operation of the Navy SEALs team that conducted the operation in Pakistan, thus exposing its members to a lifetime of risk because they have been targeted for assassination by Islamists. A short time after Obama exposed the Navy SEALs' method of operation, 22 SEALs were shot down and killed in Afghanistan. It is a violation of law for the President or any American to reveal classified military secrets.
  21. President Obama established an extra-constitutional top secret "kill list" of people (including Americans) who can be summarily killed on sight – presumably by drones -- without due process. Once on Obama's kill list, an American citizen can be targeted and executed on the opinion of a single government bureaucrat. That's not how our legal system is supposed to work.
  22. Obama Administration officials twisted the arms of defense contractors to not issue layoff notices in October of 2012 so as to avoid causing bad news for Obama right before the election — even though federal law (the "WARN Act") requires such notices. ; Not only is this a violation of the WARN Act, it's also an unlawful use of federal officials for campaign purposes.
  23. President Obama intervened militarily in Libya in 2011 without the Congressional approval required by the War Powers Act.
  24. Obama knowingly lied to Congress and the American people about the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya. The President and his representatives repeatedly said an anti-Islamic video sparked a spontaneous uprising in Libya that resulted in the killings even though Obama knew that the attack was a well-planned military-style assault by al Qaeda on the anniversary of September 11.
  25. Michelle Obama's family trip to Africa in June of 2011, including a private safari at a South African game reserve, cost American taxpayers $424,000 for air travel alone. Mrs. Obama brought along both her makeup artist and hairstylist, as well as her mother, a niece and nephew, and her daughters, who were listed as "senior staff members."

Voter Opinion Survey of 1,000,000 Americans

On Whether Congress Should Launch an Impeachment Inquiry Into Barack Obama's Lawless Conduct as President
Why Your Participation In This Survey Is So Important
Our legal team here at the COMMITTEE FOR JUSTICE has concluded that President Obama has overseen the most lawless Administration in American history.
Especially in the wake of the IRS scandal, CFJ's goal with this survey is to show the Republican leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives that there is now strong public support for an Impeachment Inquiry. We will deliver a full report on the results of this survey to . . .
  • House Speaker John Boehner;
  • Members of the U.S. House of Representatives;
  • Members of the U.S. Senate;
  • President Barack Obama and his top advisors;
  • Radio talks show hosts;
  • Political news websites and influential blogs; and
  • The rest of the news media.
You can be sure an enormous survey like this of 1,000,000 or more American voters will be studied carefully by America's elected leaders and will receive wide media coverage.
QUESTION #1: Do you think President Obama's use of the IRS to specifically target Tea Party, conservative, and Christian organizations, donors, and critics of his Administration with punishing audits and investigations during the 2012 elections amounts to Impeachable conduct?

ISSUE SUMMARY:  The Obama Justice Department launched a criminal investigation against FOX News and other reporters and journalists for simply asking questions of the Administration. The Obama Justice Department secretly seized phone records and email communications of FOX News journalists and of more then 100 other reporters and editors from other news organizations.

QUESTION #2: Do you think the Obama Justice Department's program of targeting journalists -- with a special focus on FOX News -- was part of a campaign to intimidate the media into not criticizing Obama during the 2012 elections?
a) If your answer is "YES" to this question, is this assault by the Obama Justice Department on the Constitution's First Amendment protections for freedom of the press amount to Impeachable conduct?
QUESTION #3: Do you think President Obama's blatant refusal to follow long-established U.S. immigration law, with the goal of turning millions of illegal aliens into brand new voters for his Socialist agenda, amounts to an Impeachable offense?
QUESTION #4: Do you think President Obama's refusal to build a double-barrier security fence along the U.S. border with Mexico, as required by the Secure Fence Act of 2006, is an Impeachable offense?
ISSUE SUMMARY: President Obama is now using the ObamaCare law to attack your SECOND AMENDMENT right to keep and bear arms.  Among the 21 separate Executive Orders that Obama issued to undermine Second Amendment rights, an especially egregious one is his Order amending the ObamaCare law to allow doctors and hospitals to investigate which patients own a gun.  This outrageous Executive Order could allow the federal government to track and monitor law-abiding gun owners simply because they sought medical care. 
QUESTION#5: In your opinion, are these violations of the Second Amendment by President Obama an Impeachable offense?
ISSUE SUMMARY: President Obama's Health and Human Services Department has, on its own (without Congressional approval), issued an ObamaCare mandate that all health insurance plans must include coverage for abortion-inducing drugs.  As a result, pro-life employers and taxpayers are now effectively required by ObamaCare to pay for abortions.  This mandate is an unconstitutional attack on the protections for freedom of religion in the First Amendment and the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act.  The mandate also violates the ObamaCare law enacted by Congress, which prohibits any and all taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions.
QUESTION #6: In your opinion, is Obama's violation of the First Amendment and the ObamaCare law enacted by Congress an Impeachable offense?
ISSUE SUMMARY: President Obama and his Administration repeatedly lied about the circumstances surrounding the murder of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in a military-style assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on the anniversary of September 11th.  President Obama insisted to Congress, the public and the United Nations that the attack was a spontaneous mob uprising triggered by an anti-Islam video, when he knew from Day One that this was an organized attack by well-armed al Qaeda terrorists.
QUESTION #7: In your opinion, are the lies about Benghazi that President Obama knowingly told to Congress, the United Nations, and the American people an Impeachable offense?
ISSUE SUMMARY: Instead of using American security personnel to protect the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, as required by U.S. law, the Obama Administration relied on a radical Islamic fundamentalist militia group (called the "Martyrs of the February 17th Revolution Brigade") to provide security for the U.S. mission in Benghazi.  This radical Islamic group failed to provide security (as anyone with common sense should have anticipated) as their jihadist colleagues attacked and murdered American officials.
QUESTION #8: In your opinion, is this violation of U.S. law that resulted in the death of a U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans an Impeachable offense?
ISSUE SUMMARY: From the day Obama proposed ObamaCare, polls have shown the American people overwhelmingly opposed it.  But that did not stop Obama from imposing ObamaCare on an unwilling America and today, polls show ObamaCare is more unpopular than ever.  Obama managed to secure passage of ObamaCare by one vote in the Senate by bribing senators.  He bribed Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska with the notorious $300 million "Cornhusker Kickback."  He bribed Senator Mary Landrieu with the infamous $100 million "Louisiana Purchase."
QUESTION #9: In your opinion, is President Obama's blatant use of taxpayer money to bribe Senators to vote for unpopular legislation an impeachable offense?
ISSUE SUMMARY: President Obama knowingly lied to Congress and the American people about how much ObamaCare would cost.  In a televised address to the nation, Obama told the American people that ObamaCare would cost less than $1 TRILLION over ten years.  We now know that ObamaCare will cost at least $10 TRILLION when you factor in the cost to the states, the cost of the "Individual Mandate," the cost of exploding health insurance premiums, the $716 billion ObamaCare steals from Medicare, and the increased cost to businesses of complying with ObamaCare mandates.  If a corporate CEO told similar lies to investors about costs and financial forecasts, he would go to jail for fraud.  ObamaCare passed by just one vote in the Senate.  It would never have passed if Congress had understood the true cost.
QUESTION #10: In your opinion, do President Obama's lies about the cost of ObamaCare (knowingly under-representing the price tag by a factor of 10) constitute Impeachable conduct?
ISSUE SUMMARY: As part of their oath of office, all Presidents "solemnly swear" to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."  It is CFJ's contention that President Obama has not only failed to "protect and defend the Constitution," but is actively working to subvert our liberties and undermine our Constitutional Republic.
QUESTION #11: Do you agree or disagree with CFJ's assessment?
ISSUE SUMMARY: CFJ understands that the chances of actually removing President Obama from office are low because Democrats control the Senate.  But CFJ also believes the House (which is under Republican majority control) can educate the American people on how lawless President Obama really is by launching an official Impeachment Inquiry.  And this can have a big impact on the 2014 mid-term Congressional Elections and ultimately the 2016 Presidential Election.
QUESTION #12: What is your level of agreement or disagreement with this assessment?
