The OP is a lie. Boehner is doing his job. Plain and simple. He and the Republican Majority were not sent to Capitol Hill to kiss Obama's ass.
Deal with it.
Deal with it.

Yes, but Boehner will find himself facing much darker days when he loses and for having spent Millions of the Public's Money on the lawsuit and we'll soon find him doing THIS Again as a result.Boehners Do nothing Congress has no single accomplishment
Now, he is suing because Obama is trying to accomplish something
Speaker John Boehner's threat to sue the President in district court is nothing more than political grandstanding. He does not have standing to sue the President, which is prerequisite to subject matter jurisdiction. Any such suit will not withstand a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Even if Speaker Boehner could concoct representative standing, the federal judiciary would not officiate a dispute between the legislative and executive branches, and would have to abstain from jurisdiction for reason of separation of powers limitations under the Constitution. It is an empty threat, and will not work. Speaker Boehner knows this, as he also knows that he has no grounds to bring charges for impeachment of the President; and this is only to generate publicity for himself and Republican members of Congress, who shall as soon disassociate themselves from him if he dares to do so.
