Executive Amnesty Prevention Act of 2014 - States that no provision of the Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, or other federal law shall be interpreted or applied to authorize the executive branch of the government to exempt, by executive order, regulation, or any other means, categories of persons unlawfully present in the United States from removal under the immigration laws.
Declares any action by the executive branch with the purpose of circumventing the objectives of this statute null and void and without legal effect.
Makes this Act effective retroactively, applying to any such exemption made at any time.

| 2014-12-04 | Floor | DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the Murphy (FL) motion to recommit with instructions, pending reservation of a point of order. The instructions contained in the motion seek to report the same back to the House forthwith with an amendment to ensure that nothing in the underlying legislation would impact the relief provided to parents, spouses, and children of U.S. citizens who are current members or veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve, or who seek to enlist in the Armed Forces, which is consistent with current law, but will be halted by the underlying legislation. Additionally, the motion would protect victims of domestic violence who have successfully petitioned for relief under the Violence Against Women Act; and victims of crimes and serious forms of human trafficking from further abuse. Lastly, the motion would protect Cuban nationals or any persons of any other nationality deserving of such protections, already in the U.S. or in tran sit to the U.S.. Subse | House floor actions |
