Ted Cruz: My First 100 Days in Office
Earlier this month, Ted spoke with The Washington Post‘s James Hohmann about what the first 100 days of a Cruz administration might look like — and we hope you’re as excited for them as we are! With regard to the current administration, Ted noted, “If you live by the pen, you die by the pen. Everything put in place by executive order can be undone by executive order,” and that he’d use the transition put together a team to review every executive action made by President Obama and then rescind each and every one that exceeds “the Constitutional and legal authority of the president.” He also said he’d take quick action to ensure Iran doesn’t acquire nuclear weapons, take steps to strengthen our relationship with Israel, push far-reaching tax and regulatory reform — including a full repeal of ObamaCare, and fight to put an end to Common Core. Read more from the interview here. Also this month, Ted also spoke about how the upcoming King v. Burwell Supreme Court decision provides an opportunity for leadership. In the event the court rules the Obama administration acted illegally in providing millions of ObamaCare subsidies, Ted stated he opposes the approach advocated by some of continuing the subsidies through 2017. Instead he said, “I think the best legislative option is to allow states to opt out. I am cautiously optimistic that the Supreme Court will conclude in King v. Burwell that the Obama IRS disregarded the plain language of the statute and acted lawlessly. And when that occurs, it will be a real opportunity for Congress to lead. In a perfect world, we would take that opportunity to repeal ObamaCare. At a minimum, we should allow states to opt out.” We also wanted to make sure you saw this article from National Journal early this month. In it, Ted is deemed the “Man of the Movement” for his courtship of conservative leaders at a recent forum with six other presidential contenders. Ted was described as “pitch perfect” and it was noted he “blew everyone else out of the water.” And perhaps most importantly, he laid out a real strategy to win. I hope you’ll read it here. As always, we thank you for your continued support — together we’ll reignite the promise of America! Reprinted from TedCruz.com.
