Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution of the United States...

“Clause 4: Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.”

Boehner didn’t recess the House, and they have been having pro-forma sessions. Congress is NOT in recess, so Obama has violated the Constitution WRT his recess appointments.

That's all well known.
But as I pointed out a lawsuit can't be filed without a plaintiff having ‘standing’ or it will get thrown out. So that means waiting until someone is harmed by this new agency. But that might be a credit card company or mortgage bank trying to charge fees or foreclose. Politically that would help Obama get re-elected with the case not being decided until after the election.

That is why Republicans are just talking not doing anything. The Republican party really is the clueless party.

You are concerned with obama violating the Constitution?

Obama himself is a violation of the Constitution WRT:

Article 2, Section 1 Clause 5:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
