Escalating the immigration battle to a war of constitutional proportions, House Speaker John A. Boehner said Wednesday that Congress was canceling President Obama’s deportation amnesties in order to keep faith with the founders’ vision of a government where laws are made by Congress, not the White House.
Mr. Boehner, taking to the House floor, said the votes the House will take later Wednesday morning are a signal that Congress means to recapture the powers that have flowed from Capitol Hill to the White House in recent years.
“We do not take this action lightly, but simply there is no alternative,” he said. “This is not a dispute between parties, or even between the branches of government. This executive overreach is an affront to the rule of law and the Constitution itself.”
The Ohio Republican went on to question Mr. Obama’s knowledge of the Constitution, which the president taught to classes at the University of Chicago’s law school.

I suspect BHO was more full time Community Organizer than teaching about the U.S.Constitution.....
He was never a constitutional law scholar. That was a media make up in an attempt to invent gravitas and bolster an empty resume
more like A-Junk professor.
Obama mocks Boehner’s willingness to enforce it. They’re both part of the problem.
So, when are they voting on Obolacare repeal? I thought that would be priority #1! /sarc
So, he wants to pass a bill reinforcing the Constitution which Obama will then veto?
watch out ... fully expect one or other one to pull a firearm and place it to its head
He knows the constitution and mocks it and violates it ad hominem, at your assistance, asshat; and, John, what was the predecessory phone call like to BH0?, something like this, “I’m gonna make the obligatory speech, just plug your ears...we’ll still play 18 this spring after you’ve pushed immigration through”.
"The problem is that I'm president of the United States not the Emperor of the United States."
Can't Boehner read an entire sentence without stumbling through the words? What a lush.
Boehner funded Obamacare, and Obamnesty.
He is a traitor of the first order.
Bingo! The snotty marxist parrothead that nobody ever heard of.
kabuki theater
In other words, the pot mocks the kettle for being black.
Don’t forget also the ‘Constitutional Scholar’ was unfamiliar with Marbury vs. Madison, something I learned about in 11th grade civics.
Added junk.
He wasn’t even a professor - he was an adjunct lecturer. It was just a part time job to get him ready for the Saudis to get him into politics.
Boner’s babbling is nothing but a ruse to pretend the GOP ‘leadership’ fought Obama’s illegal amnesty before they cave in and fully fund the illegality.
He should have stopped right there.
Shut up Boner!...You’re not kidding anyone.
