Boehner’s Lawsuit Against Obama Begins

The House Speaker is suing specifically over President Obama’s 2013 decision to delay implementation of the employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act. This is ironic, given that the last thing Boehner and Republicans wanted was a mandate in the Affordable Care Act. Or the Affordable Care Act.

Boehner’s office released a draft document on Thursday of the resolution set to be filed in the House of Representatives, which would authorize the chamber to take legal action against the president.

“Today we’re releasing a draft resolution that will authorize the House to file suit over the way President Obama unilaterally changed the employer mandate,” Boehner said in a statement.

“In 2013, the president changed the health care law without a vote of Congress, effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it. That’s not the way our system of government was designed to work. No president should have the power to make laws on his or her own.”
