"Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Tuesday called President Barack Obama’s plan to sign an executive order to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers a 'constitutional violation.' "

"King told CNN’s 'New Day' that the news from the White House that Obama will announce during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address that he’s raising the minimum wage for employees under new federal contracts to $10.10 an hour is a clear example of the president going beyond the bounds of the Constitution."

“We have a minimum wage. Congress has set it. For the president to simply declare ‘I’m going to change this law that Congress has passed,’ is unconstitutional. He’s outside the bounds of his Article II limitations.”

Precisely how long will Congress tuck their tails before they hold Obama accountable to the Oath he took? Honestly, shouldn't such a patently blatant disrespect for Congress be enough for them to initiate impeachment proceedings?
