I wrote a column on this for Monday.  The Republicans screwed this one up.

Do you have a link to the column, Inks?  I'd be interested in reading it.  Thanks!

It probably won't be up until Monday.  I've already got one in line for tomorrow's issue on Michigan's State of the State, but here's what I wrote (I hate the 500 word limit--it's so hard to consolidate this issue to 500 words):

No, Congress doesn't retain the power to overrule Obama, at least not under current Federal Court rulings.  They could challenge it to the Supreme Court, but I'd expect them to lose that case.

Sisseton v. United States Department of State and Sierra Club v. Clinton, and Natural Resources Defense Council v. U.S. Department of State.

None of them are SCOTUS cases, but, again, I'd be willing to bet the SCOTUS would side with the President.
