I am neither an Obama fan nor a fan of "politics." On my "list" ... politicians are at the bottom. Above them are some despicable professions and people. I doubt that this potential "multi billion dollar extravaganza" will result in any changes in the status quo. Our only salvation would be it it was televised and we, the people, shared in the advertising profits. It will be business as usual. Obama, assuming things DO NOT change, will turn the "reigns" of government over to Hillary, and the new "regime" will continue wallowing around in the Washington "mud," and the economy will flounder, jobs will be sent to China, Walmart will continue to grow and the price of beef will continue to skyrocket. Cattle rustling will become the new big business.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House will vote next month on legislation authorizing a campaign-season lawsuit accusing President Barack Obama of failing to carry out the laws passed by Congress, Speaker John Boehner announced on Wednesday.
In a memo distributed to House members, Boehner, R-Ohio, accused Obama of "aggressive unilateralism" and said if left unchecked, it would give the president "king-like authority at the expense of the American people and their elected legislators."
White House press secretary Josh Earnest dismissed any suggestion that the president has failed to act within the law in issuing executive orders or taking other actions. "We feel completely confident that the president was operating within his authority as the president of the United States to take these steps on behalf of the American people," he told reporters.
Whatever the outcome of the suit in the courts, Boehner's announcement guarantees creation of yet another political struggle between Republicans and Obama and his Democratic allies in a campaign already full of them.
"On matters ranging from health care and energy to foreign policy and education, President Obama has repeatedly run an end-around" on the public and Congress, the speaker wrote. He accused him of "ignoring some statutes completely, selectively enforcing others and at times, creating laws of his own."
At a news conference, Boehner strongly brushed aside a question of whether impeachment proceedings could result from the suit.
In his memo, he stopped short of accusing the president of violating his oath of office. Instead, he said Obama was "straining the boundaries of the solemn oath he took on Inauguration Day."
