House Republicans Question Obama's Use of Autopen

President Obama does any number of things that annoy or downright enrage House Republicans, often in the context of constitutionalism. Now a handful of them, many freshmen who ran on platforms of strict constitutional adherence, are unhappy that the president used a so-called autopen to sign legislation extending the U.S.A. Patriot Act, and have written him a letter demanding that he re-sign the bill. [Note how the Times puts this in terms of the "handful" of "freshmen" Republicans, not in terms of the Constitutional crisis Obama potentially creates ... with practically everything he does, come to think of it.]
