The U.S. House of Representatives today (July 30, 2014) approved a plan to file a federal lawsuit against President Obama by a vote of 225 to 201, according to the Newser website.
The suit will contend that Obama has exceeded his constitutional powers in the way he has enforced the 2010 health care law.
Congress members voting in favor of the lawsuit say they are protecting the Constitution's separation of powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.
House Speaker John Boehner -- who initiated the lawsuit -- said, "This isn't about Republicans or Democrats. It's about defending the Constitution we swore and oath to. Are you willing to let any president choose what laws to execute and what laws to change?"
