Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS) (R-Miss.- 4th) is asking his colleagues in Congress to censure President Obama for the executive actions on gun control announced this week.

Palazzo said, “The American people demand that we fight back against this President’s overreach, and this is the best way we can fight and win.”

Palazzo introduced the censure on Wednesday. Afterward, he posted the following text to his congressional webpage:

For seven years, the President has gradually expanded his powers through executive overreach. His actions this week to take away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens is just the latest, if not most egregious, violation of the separation of powers found in the United States Constitution. Congress must go on record to stand up as an equal branch of government – both against this President and any future president who attempts to use his authority to write the law instead of enforce the law.
