U.S. President Barack Obama disembarks from Air Force One as he arrives at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California, July 23, 2014.
In a partisan vote of 7-4, the House Rules Committee approved the legislation, setting it up for consideration by the full House. The legislation already has spawned a bitter debate between Republicans and Democrats less than four months before elections that will determine the political control of Congress next year.
The lawsuit, if approved by the full House, would focus on Obama's actions in implementing his landmark healthcare law known as 'Obamacare.'
Republicans claim that he went beyond his legal authority and bypassed Congress when he delayed some of the law's healthcare coverage mandates and granted various waivers.
Republicans have been trying to repeal the healthcare law since its enactment in 2010.
