The Boehner Lawsuit Against Obama Is Beginning to Take Shape

[DonViejo]

A vote on the resolution to authorize the legal action is set for the week before August break.

By Billy House

Starting next week, House Republicans will launch a highly visible—and likely tumultuous—three-week process of bringing to the floor legislation to authorize their promised lawsuit against President Obama over his use of executive actions.

"In theory, you could report out a resolution tomorrow and vote on it," said a House GOP aide on Tuesday. "But that is not the approach [the leaders] want to take."

Rather, the aim is to display—if not actually engage in—a more deliberative process, even if amid controversy. This drawn-out script builds toward a potentially dramatic floor vote held just days, or even hours, before the House adjourns on July 31 for its August-long summer break.

It will all start playing out when a panel of experts is called to testify next week on issues surrounding such litigation and to answer members' questions during a hearing of the House Rules Committee.

6. Republicans squander millions of Americans federal funds

7. And maddening is that Americans are blaming Obama and the Democrats for this

and not at all holding Republicans accountable.

In fact, they are tarring BOTH parties with the same charge when it is clearly one party that is at fault.
