House GOP lawsuit: The president changed law without a vote of Congress, effectively creating his own law by literally waiving mandate.

Politico reports:

The litigation will focus solely on the 2013 delay of the employer mandate. According to the resolution, that was an instance where Obama changed the law without congressional approval.

“That’s not the way our system of government was designed to work. No president should have the power to make laws on his or her own,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said.

The two-page resolution is available as a PDF here.
