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.
Hey Anthony. Thanks for being first to post.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, Anthony. I think John Boehner has the rights to sue the president; however, it appears to be a childish notion.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that what John Buehner is planning to do is not going to work and I also like that you included that although it is his right to sue it just seems to be unreasonable and petty.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, great blog Anthony! It was well written and very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and hearing your views. Although I actually agree with President Obama's new immagration policies, I as well agree that John Boehner was out of line trying to sue the Obama administration for the second time. I believe he should have taken less extreme actions, and maybe just voiced his opinion instead of taking such extreme actions. Overall your blog was great and I look forwards to reading it next week!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I think John Boehner was taking a more extreme action than he needed. I think he should have just suggested his own solution rather than suing Obama. If suing him didn't work the first time what makes you think it will work the second.
