Congressman Chris Stewart (R-Utah) released the following statement after President Obama issued new executive orders on gun control:

"While I am still reviewing the proposed executive action, I am very troubled that this president continues to ignore the Constitutional role of Congress by pursuing yet another set of executive actions. The silver lining is that just like any executive action, this one could be rescinded if it doesn't have the support of the American people.”

“I continue to hope this president will respect the proper role of Congress in crafting legislation. I am not optimistic. It may be a long year."
