Boehner Plans to Sue President Obama

Picture from NewsWeek

An article in NewsWeek explains John Boehner's plan to sue President Barack Obama for "usurping" Congressional law by extending the deadline for the ACA's mandate. According to NewsWeek, the issue Boehner has with Obama's executive order is that it amends the ACA by removing the lawful deadline.

President Obama signed an executive order alleviating businesses of the 2014 mandatory health insurance deadline. The executive order allows small business to wait one year and allows medium-sized businesses to wait two years. According to John Boehner, the executive order went too far. 

The President has the right to faithfully execute the laws, which is where the power to sign executive orders originates. However, the President is not allowed to change laws without prior Congressional approval. Both Democrats and Republicans backed the plan to extend the deadline, but now Boehner will go on with the lawsuit, even though many Republicans disagree.
