I guess they can try to impeach him over it. I don't suspect they would make a serious attempt to do so, though (i.e., they'd have someone marginal put up a resolution but not push to pass it). It's better politics for them to keep screaming about scare tactics than to give him a forum in which he's being prosecuted from which to mount a defense from the moral high ground. Maybe I underestimate their outrage though.
Anyway, I guess I'm with you in that I really don't seriously expect them to have done anything differently. But I'm also with Wonk in that I think I probably should.

If it is clear that Congress is acting squarely within an enumerated power, why do you think that Obama gets to simply disregard what Congress has done?
