ncredible! House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is ready to take the lawless Obama administration to court. This isn’t the same as impeachment — as Republicans in South Dakota want – but it is a serious challenge in the legal system to an administration who ignores the Congress and changes the laws according to his own whims. 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 alleged that the president not only has ignored the law but “brags about it,” decrying what he described as “arrogance and incompetence.” Boehner had been weighing such a lawsuit in recent days, over concerns that Obama exceeded his constitutional authority with executive actions. Republicans have voiced frustration with Obama’s second-term “pen and phone” strategy of pursuing policy changes without Congress — particularly environmental rules via the Environmental Protection Agency. Republicans also complained about numerous unilateral changes to the implementation of ObamaCare. The lawsuit has not yet been filed. But asked Wednesday whether he intended to proceed, Boehner said: “I am.” “My view is the president has not faithfully executed the laws,” he said. “What we have seen clearly over the last five years is an effort to erode the power of the Legislative Branch.” The decision to sue still would 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.

While the most any president before him had like what 45? Which I think was FDR, in his 16 year term.. It took congress long enough.. Talk about being asleep behind the wheel… The funny irony is that Obama has admitted that the worst laws ever passed where through executive order. So by his own admission he admits he is the worst ever in our history.. Log in to Reply Zeno June 25, 2014 at 3:02 pm The reality is a little different. Obama has issued fewer executive orders than any president in the 20th century except for one-term presidents Ford and Bush. Obama has 180 to date. Reagan, for example, issued 381. More recently, George W. Bush had 291. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_federal_executive_orders Log in to Reply Frank June 25, 2014 at 2:04 pm Good move to act on to bring the Lawless One to account for usurping powers as if he was dictator. However consider just who will be deciding the merits of the case and will justice prevail? Log in to Reply Jim June 25, 2014 at 2:15 pm Will believe it when I see it. Boehner has said a lot of things and did little that didn’t help him in his D.C. status. Now he has won his state’s primary, he has no skin in the game anymore… Log in to Reply James June 25, 2014 at 2:23 pm Does Boehner really have the balls to do it? Only time will tell. This abusive use of power has to stop. If not kept in check now, what’s the next guy coming into office gonna get away with? I smell a election coming up rat in here somewhere. The obozo regime has been doing this for years and now Boehner is thinking about fighting it? Log in to Reply LARRY June 25, 2014 at 2:24 pm How long will this suit take to get to court and be resolved, what will be the benefits if won and will the rulings be obeyed….this action is so late in coming it might just be a useless gesture of frustration and failure to react accordingly and effectively…… Log in to Reply Poppy June 25, 2014 at 2:30 pm Wow! This is a step in the right direction and I am pleased and wondering what took so long. I wonder how far it will make it before Obama makes an executive order saying he is untouchable.

Being black doesn’t give him a free ride though he thinks it does, well there are over 75 million people who think otherwise and over 100 million lock and loaded and are ready . Log in to Reply Ken June 25, 2014 at 2:48 pm Still Jimmy Jackin’ around but it is better than endlessly mouthing off and doing zero. Boehner is a toadstool. Damn we need some canoes in congress. They are a bunch of lily livered snakes. But Obama is a criminal. Let’s get serious and treat him as such. Impeach Obama NOW!
