Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on Wednesday he plans to sue President Barack Obama, accusing him of abusing his authority by going around Congress to implement his policy agenda.
The suit, to be filed by the House of Representatives later this summer, takes issue with executive actions Obama has taken on issues ranging from health care to energy to foreign policy, Boehner said. But he declined to be specific about which administration actions he would challenge.
"The Constitution makes it clear that the president's job is to faithfully execute the law. In my view, the president has not faithfully executed the law," Boehner told reporters.
