Boehner defends House GOP immigration lawsuit

READ: Boehner opens door to Obama immigration lawsuit

“This isn’t about immigration,” he said. “This is the President violating the Constitution, violating his oath of office, and frankly, not upholding the rule of law.”

Boehner had told House Republicans of the planned lawsuit during their closed-door meeting on Tuesday.

Boehner also said House Republicans will eventually offer an alternative to the health care reform law, and that he himself expects to remain speaker — despite facing another conservative coup attempt — for quite some time.

“I’ll be here for a while,” he said.
