Gurumurthy Kalyanaram - Former Dean and former NYIT and UT Dallas professor Gurumurthy Kalyanaram reports on the vote by the U.S. House of Representatives on June 30, 2014 authorizing a lawsuit against President Barack Obama. Gurumurthy Kalyanaram Lawsuit
In a somewhat historic but also development, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on June 30, 2014 to authorize Speaker John Boehner to file a lawsuit against President Obama for his abuse of authority. The vote was completely partisan – all the Republicans except five of them voting to authorize such a lawsuit and all the democrats voting against such a plan. So, it will essentially be Republicans suing President Obama, not so much the U.S. House of Representatives. Gurumurthy Kalyanaram Lawsuit
Of course, the American tax payers will be paying all the litigation costs because this is now considered people’s business.
Specifically, the lawsuit Obama will complain that Obama exceeded his constitutional authority by unilaterally deciding to delay the employer mandate for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. House Rules Committee Chairman, Pete Sessions, summarized the argument thus: “By circumventing Congress, the president's actions have marginalized the role that the American people play in creating the laws that govern them. Specifically, the president has waived work requirements for welfare recipients, unilaterally changed immigration laws, released the Gitmo Five without properly notifying Congress — which is the law — and ignored the statutory requirements of the Affordable Care Act.”
Many individual lawmakers have filed lawsuits against Presidents, but the Courts have always dismissed them because only those affected by law could bring a complaint. So, the Republican legal scholars came up with this novel idea: the lawsuit will now be filed on behalf of the entire U.S. House of Representatives arguing that President’s actions have injured the House.
Most non-partisan legal scholars believe that the lawsuit will certainly be dismissed by the Courts for lack of standing on the part of plaintiffs.
