WASHINGTON -- One of President Barack Obama's top advisers said on Friday that he expects House Republicans will ultimately file articles of impeachment against the president.

Dan Pfeiffer, a senior aide who has been with the administration since Obama first took office, told reporters that he anticipated that a lawsuit filed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) over executive actions taken by the president on health care would ultimately not be enough to satisfy some of the more vocal conservatives in Congress.

Pfeiffer added that coming executive actions surrounding immigration reform would only stoke the impeachment flames.

"I think a lot of people in this town laugh that off," said Pfeiffer. "I would not discount that possibility. I think that Speaker Boehner, by going down this path of this lawsuit, has opened the door to Republicans possibly considering impeachment at some point in the future."

1. BAM! The Obama White House comes out aggressively painting

the GOP as impeachers as they dance around the issue and try to make it go away. WAY TO GO! Hang it around their collective necks. The 2014 campaign has begun. And GOP impeachment of Obama is on the table. Because 57 percent of the GOP really want it.

Take that GOP.

2. No they don't, but the WH sure doesn't mind this headline.

Or the nasty spot it puts Boehner in when he has to deny it. Politics ain't beanbag.

3. Make him say "no we won't impeach"

or "yes we will".

Either way the GOP comes off looking foolish.

Well played Mr Obama,
