not buying any "reassurances" from Boehner. Since 2011, Boehner has eventually caved to Tea Party members over the debt ceiling, 50 votes on repealing ACA, and even a government shutdown. He and the rest of the party of accused President Obama of lawlessness and tyranny, several members (as you noted) have discussed impeachment and at least hinted they might support it, and the House just approved Boehner's frivolous lawsuit against President Obama. Why would anybody believe Boehner, et. al when they say that they will not start trying to actually impeach President Obama over........something at some point? Not to mention the fact that now that Boehner has supposedly taken impeachment of President Obama off the table, I'm sure that the teabaggers will now start pressing harder for Boehner and other Republicans to take up the charge to impeach President Obama until they finally get a vote. I happen to believe that it WILL happen as long as the Republicans hold the House. I'm sure they know that it is a futile gesture since the Senate, even in the rosiest of circumstances next year will lack the 67 votes to convict but I'm sure that they still want to stick it to President Obama and be happy to see him leave office with a "stain" on his record (whether justified or not) just because they can.
