John Boehner may be preparing a lawsuit against Barack Obama’s Executive Orders

  According to this story John Boehner is nearing a decision on whether or not to file a lawsuit against Barack Obama’s use of the Executive Order to circumvent the Congress.

  Here is more:

Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, told Republicans Tuesday he could have an announcement within days on whether the House will file a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, challenging the executive actions that have become the keystone of the administration.

The lawsuit could set up a significant test of constitutional checks and balances, with the legislative branch suing the executive branch for ignoring its mandates, and the judiciary branch deciding the outcome.

Boehner told the House Republican Conference during a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning that he has been consulting with legal scholars and plans to unveil his next steps this week or next, according to sources in the room.

  John Boehner’s spokesman, Michael Steel, had this to say:

“The president has a clear record of ignoring the American people’s elected representatives and exceeding his constitutional authority, which has dangerous implications for both our system of government and our economy,” Steel said. “The House has passed legislation to address this, but it has gone nowhere in the Democratic-controlled Senate, so we are examining other options.”

  I have my doubts about whether John Boehner has the balls to do this, he seems more willing to confront the conservative members of his caucus than he does in confronting the president, but stay tuned…..this could get interesting if John Boehner finally grows a pair.
