The Florida Cabinet backed state CFO Jeff Atwaters proposal to recognize this week as Days of Remembrance to honor victims of Nazi Germany with Thursday as Holocaust Remembrance Day,also called Yom HaShoah.

In memory of the victims of the Holocaust, in honor of its survivors, and in utmost gratitude for the risks taken by rescuers and liberators, Floridians are encouraged to use this as an occasion to rededicate themselves to the principles of human dignity and respecting individual freedoms, Atwater said.

U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., is looking to put a check on executive power with a resolution returning Article 1 powers to Congress and looking to include executive usurpation as grounds for impeachment. Despite being a fierce critic of President Barack Obama, Yoho said his proposal was not directed against the president.
