just whistling Dixie?
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner confirmed Wednesday that he intends to sue President Obama in the long-running dispute between the administration and congressional Republicans over the scope of the administration's executive authority to enforce laws.
"I am," Boehner told reporters, when asked if he was going to initiate a lawsuit. "The Constitution makes it clear that a president's job is to faithfully execute the laws. In my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws."
Boehner added: "Congress has its job to do and so does the president. And when there's conflicts like this between the legislative branch and the administrative branch, it's in my view our responsibility to stand up for this institution in which we serve."
okay first thing is this is bogus political posturing at taxpayer expense, the almost laughable part from Beohner:
"Congress has its job to do and so does the president. And when there's conflicts like this between the legislative branch and the administrative branch, it's in my view our responsibility to stand up for this institution in which we serve."
It is unclear which executive actions Boehner would challenge, but in recent years Republicans have protested executive actions halting the deportations of immigrants illegally residing in the United States, delaying enactment of certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act and raising the minimum wage for federal contractors, as well as executive actions to expand gay rights and close the gender pay gap.
I defy anyone to find any truth in his references to the congress and their job, Pres. did these things for Americans because congress would not and said so before he even took office ad for 6 years they've only stood up to go on recess and bring down the country and vote no on all his bills. with those things above had he not done them think where the country would be today still in 2008.
they have to prove congress was in some way harmed by these decisions they can't because harm was and is still being done to Americans their denial has affected oh the brass on that side they refuse to cooperate with anything and when Pres. steps up and does their jobs for them they want to sue even though they never intend to do them,
Americans need to sue congress for perpetrating the fraud on America of taking a pay check and I take that back they told us up front they had no intention of working with him and every intention to see him fail well he didn't and they want to sue him basically because he didn't fail, they are guilty of failed treason, and malfeasance and dereliction of duty, and wasting millions maybe even billions in trying to make Pres. look bad.
and jobs "where are the jobs" Beohner they are being and have been created every month for the last 40 plus, Mr. Beohner where are the republican jobs you promised in 2010?????????????
It is unclear what the cost of suit against the president would be, but a recent, unsuccessful effort by BLAG to defend a gay marriage law cost $2.3 million.
"This is not about impeachment," he said. "This is about his faithfully executing the laws of our country."
how about exercising faithfully executing the job description there are laws that govern the oathg of office they are violating, they do the dirt then try to sweep it on Pres.'s shoes, soiling the party in the eyes of the electorate also smudges up Hilary 2016 not political yeah.
update on Wednesday Dems raised 584,000 bucks in backfire to suit effort by republicans overreaching only gives you a distended swollen shoulder and low ratings. as to Pres.'s over stepping his executive rights well as usual it's been a given like every other presidential action till now. you look at the list and see if this is another thinly veiled elephant dung of a misleading misinforming, desperate attempt to create hate and discontent, separating the country like they accuse Pres. of.
