Ron DeSantis: Congress Should Know When Officials Refuse to Enforce Laws

U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., testified before the House Judiciary Committee on his Faithful Execution of the Law Act which would require federal officials to report to Congress when they decide not to enforce a law.

Congress possesses all legislative powers, yet the president has frequently delayed or amended duly-passed laws without congressional authorization, DeSantis said on Wednesday. My Faithful Execution of the Law Act will bring more transparency to government by making the administration justify non-enforcement policies to the American people, thereby elevating the issue of constitutional authority as a part of the public debate.
