Why Boehner’s Suing Obama–Again (pICTURE, vIDEO)
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) confirmed on Wednesday that he’s planning to sue President Barack Obama — again.
In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Boehner said he was finalizing the details of a House legal challenge to Obama’s decision to bypass Congress and use executive action to provide deportation relief for millions of undocumented immigrants.
“The president’s overreach when he took executive action to deal with the immigration problem in our country, frankly, is a violation of our Constitution. It’s a violation of his oath of office,” Boehner said. “We believe that filing of a lawsuit to try and stop the president from violating the Constitution is an important step for our institution.”
Boehner’s comments confirmed what he reportedly told House Republicans behind closed doors earlier this week. A source told The Huffington Post then that the plan focused on a resolution to allow the House to either file its own lawsuit, join a suit filed by 26 other states or take other legal action.
