Obama Will Veto Any Attempt to Undo Executive Action

President Obama “would veto any legislation hatched by Republicans to undo his immigration executive action granting relief to millions,” a senior administration official tells Roll Call.

“The official left no doubt that the White House is prepared for a shutdown standoff if Republicans attach a rider to the upcoming spending bill needed to keep the government open past Dec. 11.”

Also interesting: “If there was one moment that sealed the timing, the official said, it was when Speaker John A. Boehner was asked by a reporter after the election if he could commit to bringing up an immigration bill in the next Congress, and the Ohio Republican refused to do so. The president wasn’t willing to wait to give the newly elected Republican Congress a chance to act with no commitment or expectation that they would.”
