9. Nope, it will be dismissed after the first motion.

The Administration will move to dismiss on the basis that the House and Speaker Boehner have no standing to bring the lawsuit.

The judge will dismiss.

No appeals court will hear an appeal.

By the time it gets to the SCOTUS, the SCOTUS will not grant Cert.

The constitution is very clear. If the House truly believes the president is acting in an unlawful manner, they must exercise their power as defined in Article 1., Section 2., Clause 5 and Article II., Section 4. of the United States Constitution. The courts have no power in such a matter and the House has no standing to bring such a lawsuit when a constitutional remedy already exists.
