A Court Summons in Obama's Future?
House Speaker John Boehner announced this week that he plans to file a federal lawsuit against President Barack Obama for allegedly abusing his executive power by changing policies without consulting Congress.
When asked at a news conference on Capitol Hill if he planned to file the lawsuit against the president, Boehner told reporters: "I am."
"You know the Constitution makes it clear that the president's job is to faithfully execute the laws and in my view the president has not faithfully executed the laws," Boehner, a Republican, said.
The House speaker added that he believes the president has attempted to erode the government's legislative branch during his past five years in office. "This is about defending the institution in which we serve. If you look back over the past 235 years of our history there's been movement between the inherent powers of the executive branch versus the inherent powers of the legislative branch and what we've seen clearly over the past five years is an effort to erode the power of the legislative branch."
