The New Media Journal | Obama Works Around Congress on Healthcare, Climate Policy

The New Media Journal | Obama Works Around Congress on Healthcare, Climate Policy: "Republicans are preparing an array of budgetary, legislative and political strategies to fight regulatory action by President Obama.

Without Speaker Nancy Pelosi (P-Calif.) and a majority in the House, Obama is expected to rely heavily on his executive power to influence policy over the next two years.

To counter that effort, Republicans hope to cut off funding for the new healthcare law and, through legislation, to block efforts by agencies to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and the Internet.

“We will not allow the administration to regulate what they have been unable to legislate,” Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), the incoming chairman of the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said last week."
