Boehner plans to file suit against Obama over alleged abuse of executive power

Published June 25, 2014 FoxNews.com

House Speaker John Boehner announced Wednesday he plans to file suit against President Obama over his alleged abuse of executive power.

"This is not about impeachment -- it's about him faithfully executing the laws of this country," Boehner said.

The speaker had been weighing such a lawsuit in recent days, over concerns that Obama exceeded his constitutional authority with executive actions.

The lawsuit has not yet been filed. But asked Wednesday whether he intended to proceed, Boehner said: "I am."

The decision to sue would still have to be formally approved by a group of House leaders. Presuming that step is cleared, the suit is expected to be filed in a few weeks.

The plaintiff would be the House of Representatives.

Ahead of Boehner's announcement, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridiculed the prospect of a suit against the president.
"I make of it as subterfuge," she said. "They're doing nothing here. So they have to give some aura of activity."

Anyone want to take some odds on John Boehner not following through with this???

How lame is that! The Speaker of the house is going to sue the President to get him to obey the Constitution and laws....

To hell with that! If John Boehner had any balls at all and was NOT the complete SELLOUT he is, he would impeach Obama full force and not let up.

I've seen so much of it the past 25years the sequels do not even interest me, political theater in election years especially is still boring political theater put on for those that missed the original.

Those that fall for it are those not informed about history, long past or recent past.
