Trey Gowdy Gives Obama a Reminder About Who Controls the Government Trey Gowdy Gives Obama a Reminder About Who Controls the Government 26 January, 2015 Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) didn’t pull any punches when respondingto President Obama’s State of the Union address. In an official statement released today, Gowdy says the President, through a series of executive “power grabs,” has eroded the constitutional balance intended by our Founding Fathers. “Last year, the President promised he would use his pen and phone to ignore the legislative branch and push through his agenda by executive fiat. We have witnessed one executive power grab after another, setting a dangerous precedent and eroding the constitutional balance set forward by our Founders. “As the President himself once said, elections have consequences. The most recent one being he must work with the Republican-controlled Congress, rather than spout recycled, failed ideas from past speeches. Americans are looking for leadership. They want solutions. The President has the opportunity to put aside politics and engage with the new Congress. We hope he will.” Gowdy’s critical tone was echoed by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), a fellowmember of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform. Rep. Jordan asserts what we heard Tuesday night was just more of the same from the President. “If the President’s big government ideas worked, then our problems would have been solved a long time ago. Instead, for the past six years we have piled more and more debt on future generations of Americans with little economic growth to show for it.” Rep. Gowdy has been a popular topic on Twitter since his statement’s release. It appears many people share his feelings.

A great role model for the remainder of Congress… And the White House. t.co/PjpJTT5uuH— Michael Cerkas (@mcerkas) January 21, 2015 It’s clear that this Republican-controlled Congress, perhaps most fittingly members of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform, are preparing for a challenge during the remainder of President Obama’s final term.
