The House authorized a lawsuit against President Obama for breaking 2 laws when he made altercations to Obamacare last summer. This past Friday the lawsuit was finally filed and focuses on 2 specific crimes Obama committed with his changes to the Affordable Health Care Act.
According to the Speaker’s Office, the lawsuit filed Friday will challenge two aspects of Obama’s actions:
Unlawfully Waiving the Employer Mandate. The House is challenging the president’s unilateral decision to twice waive the health care law’s employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it without going through Congress. The president’s actions delaying the employer mandate directly contradict the clear and plain language of the health care law.
Illegally Transferring Funds to Insurance Companies. The House is also challenging the administration’s unlawful giveaway of approximately $175 billion to insurance companies under ObamaCare. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the administration will pay approximately $3 billion to insurance companies in FY 2014, and is scheduled to make payments of some $175 billion over the next 10 years to insurance companies under an HHS-based, ObamaCare cost-sharing program even though Congress has never appropriated funds for the program. The administration is instead unlawfully and unconstitutionally using funds from a separate Treasury Department account – authorized for other purposes – to pay insurance companies and thereby unilaterally altering the structure of the health care law.
Boehner stressed in his statement that the House needs to stand up to protect its power.
“If this president can get away with making his own laws, future presidents will have the ability to as well,” the Speaker said. “The House has an obligation to stand up for the Constitution, and that is exactly why we are pursuing this course of action.”
I don’t believe it boehner and McConnell are chicken sh* t
Wow
Absolutely nothing will come of this.
Thank God for Boehner!!! Press on Boehner and don’t quit standing for what is right lawfully.
It is a start, now follow through and while you are at it, File Treason against him as well as Holder and Clinton…because Treason is exactly what all three, and many more, have done including Reid and Pelosi. Hang ’em high or stand in the line of fire yourself!
Too bad he wasn’t there to bag Bush and Mr. Halliburton on WMD’s… Or Mr. ‘I can’t recall’ on Iran-Contra… I’m not an Obama fan, but bad governance isn’t partisan.
Less talk more action
$#%&!@* needs to go
Jerron while I agree with you in principle, I for one do not see how even an ARMED ASSAULT on an obviously corrupt and inept government will have any effect on those who would “rule the world”. I know them to be the instigators of the New World Order… No Military or Civilian Army, Navy, Marine Corps nor Air Force will ever reach into their chests and “pluck out” their obviously already cold dead heart. Just where would they attack and how would you corral them into an available target array?
About damn time
