House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) confirmed Wednesday that he intends to sue the Obama administration over its use of executive actions, which have been used to push through initiatives without congressional approval.
"I am," he told reporters at a weekly briefing on Capitol Hill. His intention to sue the administration was reported Tuesday.
Asked if his plan could lead to impeachment proceedings in the House, as some have called for, Boehner demurred.
"This is not about impeachment," he said. "This is about faithfully executing the laws of our country."
The speaker declined to provide details about which executive actions he intends to challenge in court.
