LEXINGTON, S.C., May 23, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- From the lobby of the Statehouse at 10:30am on May 23, 2016, Patricia Wheat will hold a press conference regarding the usurping of authority by Governor Nikki Haley in regards to her support of the refugee program.

"At the urging of the United Nations and the regime of Barack Obama, Nikki Haley has engaged in activity that is beyond the authority of her office. This action endangers the very fabric of our culture and will change daily life of South Carolinians," stated Wheat.

Article 1 Section 9 of the US Constitution recognizes that States hold authority over immigration, migration and importation and the Constitution does not delegate that authority elsewhere including the Federal Government. South Carolina has control over such within our State.

Wheat has further stated, "After studying the South Carolina Constitution, I find no authority given to the Governor to autonomously engage in agreements with any other government including the Federal Government. She has acted outside of her legitimate authority."

Wheat is calling on Governor Haley to correct this and suggests that failure to do so should result in the South Carolina House opening an investigation of Governor Haley in this matter and take appropriate action which may include Senate hearings on impeachment.
