The United States House of Representatives voted to sue President Barack Obama for allegedly delaying an insurance deadline at Obamacare.

Barack Obama commented on the issue saying that it was a waste of time and that everyone saw it as a political tactic, reports the BBC.

The House of Representatives question Obama's order that eased deportation of a few illegal immigrants and the release of a U.S. soldier by the Taliban in a prison exchange deal.

Although the members of parliament have sued the President before, it was the first time that the House of Representatives had taken such an action against the President.

 

Congress Republicans said that President Obama had exceeded his constitutional powers at several occasions by passing executive orders.
