Source: Talking Points Memo

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Thursday warned the White House about unilaterally enacting policy after President Obama on Tuesday said he would turn to executive action to push his economic agenda.

"I've got a pen, and I've got a phone," Obama said before a cabinet meeting.

Boehner reminded Obama of his oath to uphold the constitution.

"I would remind the President he also has a constitution and an oath of office he took," he said during a press conference.

Boehner also said that there's "no reason" that 2014 "can't be a bipartisan year."

13. Speaker Boehner Also Took An Oath also

Boehner acts like a high school bully always wanting to remind everyone else about the rules but forgetting them himself. This moron of a human being runs around Washington like some entitled frat boy who thinks he is the smartest person alive. I cannot even bring myself to listen to a word he has to say due to the fact that he has nothing worthwhile to say about anything. If he had any balls he would be up there working for the good of his state and the good of the American public instead he is always somewhere where he shouldn't be downing alcohol with his red nose just flashing like a bulb on a xmas tree. The people of Ohio have had enough of his lack of professionalism and his very antagonistic nature toward his fellow Ohioans.

14. Exexutive actions have been used by every president. Every single one of them.

If Boner wants a constitutional war on this point, I say bring it on......

... seemed to mind when Bush ran roughshod over the Constitution with various Unitary President agenda items.
