President Barack Obama Is this an attempt to discredit Obama and make him less credible when the announcement occur or is this an attempt to keep him from making changes before the pole shift. [and from another] time/2921512/barack-obama-john-boehner-republicans-lawsuit/ So far, the Republican-controlled House has passed two bills aimed at curbing executive orders by the President, neither of which have gone anywhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi called the lawsuit a subterfuge and said Republicans in Congress are doing nothing and they have to give some aura of activity. While Boehner has yet to announce the details of the forthcoming lawsuit, House Republicans have strongly opposed numerous unilateral decisions made by the Obama Administration, including halting deportations of immigrants who were brought to the country as children, postponing provisions of the Affordable Care Act and raising the minimum wage for federal contractors. In a letter to House members Wednesday, Boehner said he intends to bring legislation to the floor in July to “compel” Obama to follow his oath of office. “I make of it as subterfuge,” Pelosi said of the new House Republican plan to sue Obama. “As I’ve said they are doing nothing here and so they have to give some aura of activity. “He hasn’t come anywhere near what Republican presidents have done on executive orders,” Pelosi added.
