Boehner the Weak

This is the sort of thing that Boehner should have said 6 years ago.

....“If a president does not faithfully execute the law… what are our remedies?”

[Gowdy] then argued that Congress should do exactly what then-Sen. Obama suggested before he was president of the United States: “To go to the Supreme Court and have the Supreme Court say once and for all: ‘We don’t pass suggestions in this body. … We don’t pass ideas — we pass laws. And we expect them to be faithfully executed.”....

Frankly, in the governance drama in DC, Obozo is playing the part of Putin while Boehner plays Obozo.  No small irony.
“And if a president does not faithfully execute the law, Mr. Speaker, what are our remedies? Do we just sit and wait on another election? Do we use the power of the purse, the power of appeasement? Those are punishments, those are not remedies,” Gowdy declared.
“The remedy is to do exactly what Barack Obama said to do, to go to court, to go to the Supreme Court and have the Supreme Court say once and for all we don’t pass suggestions in this body, Mr. Speaker, we don’t pass ideas. We pass laws, and we expect them to be faithfully executed.”
