Speaker John Boehner sharply criticized President Barack Obama for failing to take responsibility for the growing humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“This is a problem of the president’s own making. He’s been president for five-and-half years. When is he going to take responsibility for something?” the Ohio Republican said at a press conference on Thursday.

House Speaker John Boehner said he plans to move forward with a lawsuit against President Barack Obama for misusing executive powers.
“The Constitution makes it clear that a president’s job is to faithfully execute the laws. In my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws,” the Ohio Republican said on Wednesday. “When there are conflicts like this between the legislative branch and the administrative branch, it’s … our responsibility to stand up for this institution.”

The House on Friday approved a bill to let insurance companies sell health plans that had previously been canceled due to ObamaCare regulations, a day after President Obama moved unilaterally to fix the problem. 

The bill passed 261-157. Thirty-nine Democrats crossed over to support the GOP-backed legislation.
