My comments on the article:
The irony here is overwhelming; and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is completely oblivious to it.
In a June press conference, Mr. Boehner tried to explain the justification for discussing impeachment and for the GOP lawsuit against the President. He stated that the President had over-stepped his rights in Iraq...and then said it's not his, (the Speaker's) place to dictate foreign policy to the President but--and note this was in the same press conference--stated that he, (the President) has the right to deploy troops in Iraq with or without the approval of Congress and he should act on that before it is too late.
When Boehner wants a shift in border policy and finds he's incapable of passing a bill, he again suggests the president can do as he pleases, without regard for lawmakers' approval.
Except go home for a month's vacation where they can complain that the President wouldn't help them, leaving the President to deal with the crisis on his own after which they can complain that he is acting on his own without their approval or input.
It's the same ol', same ol'. The GOP doesn't like the President, refuses to compromise on anything and then holds press conferences complaining that the President won't work with them (GOP translation: "work with" = do what we want and only what we want, no additions or subtractions.)
This is followed by complaining that the President over-stepped when he works around their chronic obstructionism. It's the same message, they only need open their book of grievance form letters, fill in the issue of the day and read it to the press.
