Boehner opens door to Obama immigration lawsuit

Full Article

       Hello, all who may be reading this. Today, January 27th, House Speaker John Boehner has decided to draw up plans to launch yet another try at a lawsuit against President Obama over his executive "amnesty", the executive order that granted a short reprieve for illegal immigrants in this country, hoping that they will use this chance to apply for citizenship.

       In class, we will, in the future, talk about Congress' and the Presidency's powers, including impeachment and executive orders, respectfully. This article mentions both- John Boehner intends to sue (which, if successful, could be the runner-up to an impeachment trial) Obama over his executive order granting temporary amnesty to illegal immigrants.

       Now, there are many people who disagree with Obama's immigration executive action- just as there are people who don't agree with "Obamacare". However, both times now John Boehner has tried to "sue" the Obama administration over these actions/bills- and it failed the first time because it was too "ridiculous". It's perfectly fine to disagree with the President's policies, but intending to sue the president over an action he took rather than suggesting your own solution goes a little overboard.
