I live in Oklahoma. HENCE, I am pleased the OK House has passed HB 1236 that enables the Oklahoma State Attorney General to review Faux-President Biden’s Executive Orders to measure if they measure up to the U.S. Constitution. It is my sense the Bill has to pass the OK Senate to have the force of State law. Considering HR 1236 passed on a 79 yea to 18 nay votes, I’d be surprised if the OK Senate failed to follow suit. Below is the story.

Oklahoma Passes Bill Allowing Rejection of all Biden
Executive Orders
By Martin Walsh
March 1, 2021
The Oklahoma House of Representatives, which is controlled
by Republicans, has passed a bill that would allow the state to put the brakes
on the power of Joe Biden’s executive orders in the state.
Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall and State Rep. Mark McBride,
both Republicans, introduced the bill, which passed in the House 79 to 18.
The bill, HB 1236, would allow the Oklahoma state legislature
to review each executive order and determine if the order should be given to
the Oklahoma attorney general, who would determine if it is allowed under the
U.S. Constitution.
If the attorney general deemed an executive order
unconstitutional, the bill seems to indicate the attorney general could sue for
a court order invalidating the executive order.
If the attorney general decides not to take action on an
order, the legislature could conduct a majority vote declaring it
unconstitutional.
If the legislature invokes its option to declare an
executive order unconstitutional, the statute is unclear whether the Oklahoma
government would file suit or the state would ignore the order inside the
state, leaving it to the federal government to enforce or try to take it to
court.
The bill states:
Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the state, county, political subdivision or any other
publicly funded organization shall not implement any action that restricts a
person’s rights or that the Office of the Attorney General or the Legislature
by a majority vote determines to be unconstitutional.
Federal law always trumps state law, but any federal action
that is unconstitutional is not a law at all.
Oklahoma is the second state to take such action.
Last month, South Dakota’s Republican-controlled House
introduced legislation that would allow the state to nullify Biden’s executive
orders if it determines they are unconstitutional.
“The Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council may
review any executive order issued by the President of the United States if the
order has not been affirmed by a vote of the Congress of the United States and
signed into law, as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States,” the
bill’s text reads.
“Upon review, the Executive Board may recommend to the
attorney general and the Governor that the order be further examined by the
attorney general to determine the constitutionality of the order and to
determine whether the state should seek an exemption from the application of
the order or seek to have the order declared to be an unconstitutional exercise
of legislative authority by the President,” it adds.
The legislation adds:
Notwithstanding any other law,
no state agency, political subdivision, or any elected or appointed official or
employee of this state or of a political subdivision may implement an executive
order that restricts a person’s rights or that is determined by the attorney
general to be unconstitutional under this section if the order relates to:
(1) A pandemic or other public
health emergency;
(2) The regulation of natural
resources;
(3) The regulation of the
agricultural industry;
(4) The regulation of land use;
(5) The regulation of the
financial sector through the imposition of environmental, social, or governance
standards; or
(6) The regulation of the
constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
The bill sets up a process for reviewing the president’s
executive orders, which would be submitted to the governor and attorney general
so that the attorney general could “determine whether the state should seek an
exemption” from the order or have it “declared an unconstitutional exercise of
legislative authority by the President.”
Biden has set a record-shattering pace for executive orders
and Republican-controlled states are fighting back.
