Political gamesmanship, or Congress-come-lately? As much as I’d like to think the GOP is finally putting its big boy pants on, I’m not overly optimistic:
In light of Obama’s habitual disregard for the Constitution, the movement to sue the president for his transgressions is gaining ground — fast.
It all started with a few representatives threatening a lawsuit. This eventually led to thirty representatives co-sponsoring a resolution to sue the president… And then over seventy… And it has since ballooned to over one hundred co-sponsors, mostly thanks to Obama promising even more executive action as time passes.
The Stop This Overreaching Presidency (STOP) Resolution is a response to Obama violating his oath to the Constitution — namely Article 2, Section 3 which outlines the president’s duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”
While passage of the bill would make great headlines, the full post linked above shows the lawsuit may not do much, and the House may not have legal standing to sue. As importantly, there already exists a sure-fire method of preventing the President from continuing to abuse his powers: Congress’ constitutional power of the purse.

Why don't these idiots try and do something that actually will accomplish something, Like filing articles of Impeachment!
Because neither side cares about the people.
It's not enough.
Let’s make it a class action lawsuit with WE THE PEOPLE as defendants.
I would love to see him impeached. However two words come to mind when that happens...........JOE BIDEN! Really scarry either way.
10:13 Along with the impeachment would be a requirement for the acting VP to take a basic competency test. If he can't pass it, his stupid butt is gone also.
