As for Treason within the Constitution:

The lawsuit filed in federal court by the House of Representatives against Obama for not executing the laws will go nowhere. It is a politically safe distraction designed to fool the gullible.

For a court to find that Obama has not executed his constitutional duty is adjudication of a high political crime, which is the duty of Congress, not the courts.

A House too afraid of the media to impeach Obama is certainly too timid to charge him with treason.

The only lawsuit which Scotus can hear from Congress is one that charges Obama with the treason he is certainly guilty of.

Right on all counts!

Unfortunately the means that any President can do whatever they want and get away with it especially if they control both houses (or even one house) of Congress. That scares me. It also scares me that even if one branch of Congress would act, and the other does not, that means that our Government is divided by Party instead of working for the United States. Something is wrong with our model when it happens. Have never thought of a President that might ignore the nation and do only his Party’s bidding. I think that we have a hole in our Constitution since when written, they would never have thought that a President would act without regard to the nation as this President has. Might really be time for a Constitutional Convention after all but not for what some folks think. When the President makes changes to laws passed by the lawmakers and the Congress lets him get away with it, something is very wrong.

What this really means is that politicians no longer think about the good of the people or the nation but worry about and vote Party only!

That should scare everybody!

Obviously, and any judge with half a brain will dismiss this "lawsuit" for lack of jurisdiction in a nanosecond.

The Founders (obviously) anticipated this situation and provided a mechanism to resolve it.

For failure to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, there is a court of first impression. It's called the House of Representatives, and John Boehner is in charge of it.
