(CNN) -- House Speaker John Boehner flatly denied Tuesday that congressional Republicans are moving to impeach President Barack Obama, blasting talk about it as "a scam started by Democrats at the White House."

"We have no plans to impeach the President. We have no future plans," Boehner told reporters after a weekly meeting with GOP members.

Boehner said "this whole talk about impeachment" comes from "the President's own staff" and from congressional Democrats.

"Why? Because they're trying to rally their people to give money and to show up in this year's elections," he said.
