Republican suit challenges Obama's authority to spend money on healthcare

NY Times:

Republicans’ Suit on Health Law Focuses on Funding Powers

House Republicans say Congress never appropriated money for a provision of the Affordable Care Act that offers financial assistance to low- and moderate-income people.
One of the original common law causes of action for a suit is called quo warranto.  It means " by what authority do you take this action."  In this case, it is saying that Congress did not appropriate the money Obama is spending  to push his despised healthcare law.  He has no authority to act outside the scope of Congressional authorization.
