Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, told Republicans Tuesday he could have an announcement within days on whether the House will file a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, challenging the executive actions that have become the keystone of the administration.
The lawsuit could set up a significant test of constitutional checks and balances, with the legislative branch suing the executive branch for ignoring its mandates, and the judiciary branch deciding the outcome.
The president has a clear record of ignoring the American peoples elected representatives and exceeding his constitutional authority, which has dangerous implications for both our system of government and our economy, Steel said. The House has passed legislation to address this, but it has gone nowhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate, so we are examining other options.

obama has about as much respect for the House Boner as the rest of the world’s leaders have for obama. There’s no “shaking” going on anywhere over the actions of these two.
I have yet to understand why so many want to ignore history.
Well not really. I understand perfectly.
This is nothing more than election year theater.
Why did the House wait until now? Should have done it the minute Boner became Speaker.
I don’t either Norm.
Are u going to be on the MS Senate thread tonight?
Cantor and Boehner keep stealing ideas from Steve King.
Yup. I ‘usually’ lurk and watch until the end of those threads when more solid info is in, but I’ll be there reading it for sure.
Hopefully the lesser evil crew goes silent like the last time.
LOL.
Should be an interesting night.
Now they have a better chance of running out the clock before having to actually do something positive for America.
Boehner is slime. This sorry excuse for a man is the Speaker of the House and he thus has a job and a duty to perform. That job and duty is to uphold the Constitution and file Articles of Impeachment and is not to file some insipid lawsuit that will take years and ultimately have some worthless judge decide the fate of our Country.
Boehner and all of the politicians in DC are paid by us to do a job. The fact they have yet to impeach Obama shows they are not doing that job, actually like the status quo, and think they are weaseling out of having to show the citizens their true intentions. They want a court to decide so they do not have to support their votes/actions, whether they be good or bad. I believe they want some liberal judge to keep all of Obama’s E.O.s and backdoor rulings.
They are all weasels. Obama MUST be impeached, found guilty and removed from office.
I pray it is. As in more GOP liberals and their drooling minions hazzing no recourse but to openly side with democrats...preferably on DU.
So the rest of us can enjoy another conservative sxitcanning their towelboy.
“Get the Orders ruled unconstitutional”
I am not saying that congress should not do this. They should. But the end result will come from the USSC which is now a lawless court operating for political motives. I can already tell you how they will rule.
IMPEACHMENT IS POLITICAL COURT!
Learn how to plan the game of politics, or take up knitting or basket weaving would you?
You do not demonstrate much wisdom at the serious political game of politics, when you attack smart moves and call wise people names that do not fit.
A lawsuit is precisely what we need right now.
Perhaps impeachment of a cabinet officer or two in the spring after the elections.
Do you want to win, I mean do you want to advance the conservative cause, or do you want to make a martyr out of Obama?
Use your head.
Boehner has no balls and neither does the majority of the GOP. If the friggin “opposition party” had any guts they would be giving Obama the George Bush treatment that the Dems gave him for the majority of the 2000s. If they did that then Obama would be in the 30s, but NO all we get is this dog and pony show by Boner and Co.
At this point its time to start Cloward and Pivening the Muslim back. Lawsuits, hearings, subpoenas what ever.
A sternly worded letter!!
Decorated with angry faces!!
Radar ears sure’ll be shaking!
Does the phrase Its about time!!! have a place here.”
How about the phrase, “Must be election time”?
YES Obama deserves to be impeached.
NO it will not help the conservative cause to do so.
YES it is perfectly honorable to hold off until we have more votes in the Senate, and until more of the voters turn against Obama.
IMPEACHMENT IS POLITICAL! Impeachment was intended to be political. So play smart politics with any impeachment!
A little late to the party, John? Did you at least bring your own booze?
Oh please. your ‘wisdom’ has helped avoid impeaching the fraud thus far.
The founders were against political parties. Why? Look around you. they were for following the doc they wrote, not playing your asinine political games that caused this fiasco in the first place. When you ‘feel’ you have more wisdom than I or anyone like me for agreeing with the very men that founded the country, please, tell the class so that we can all laugh at your arrogance.
