   New House GOP Whip Steve Scalise called President Obama’s   
   extended discourse on his own impeachment nothing but a   
   political game, noting this “might be the first White House in   
   history trying to start the narrative of impeaching their own   
   president.”   
      
   Scalise spoke with Fox New’s Chris Wallace on Sunday about the   
   president’s impending plan for executive action on immigration —   
   which many suspect will include amnesty for millions of illegal   
   immigrants.   
      
   “You’re already suing the president for overreach,” Wallace   
   noted, asking if House Republicans will consider impeachment   
   should the White House move around Congress on yet another major   
   issue.   
      
   “You know what, this might be the first White House in history   
   that’s trying to start the narrative of impeaching their own   
   president,” Scalise said incredulously. “Ultimately, what we   
   want to do is see the president follow the laws.”   
      
   “We’ve made it clear we’re going to put options on the table to   
   allow the House to take legal action against the president when   
   he overreaches his authority,” he continued, noting the Supreme   
   Court and others have routinely found against President Obama’s   
   expansive view of his own powers.   
      
   “But impeachment is off the table?” Wallace pressed.   
      
   “Well, the White House wants to talk about impeachment,” Scalise   
   replied. “Ironically, they’re going out and trying to fundraise   
   off of that too.”   
      
   “Look, the White House will do anything they can to change the   
   topic away from the president’s failed agenda,” the House Whip   
   explained. “People are paying higher costs for food, for   
   healthcare, for gas at the pump. And the president isn’t solving   
   those problems. So he wants to try to change the subject.”
