Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman has threatened to file articles of impeachment if President Obama uses an executive order to enforce gun control.
“Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible,” he added. “Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court.
“If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist,” Stockman said.
