Actually, Boehner is incorrect.  The House of Representatives is NOT a “branch of government”.    And by that logic could the Supreme Court invite foreign leaders to speak to the 9 of them?

> 
> House Speaker John Boehner dismissed widespread criticism about his invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to come to Washington, saying Congress has a “right” to hear from foreign leaders.
> 
> “The House of Representatives is a equal branch of the government, and we have a right to do it, and we did it,” the Ohio Republican said Tuesday morning after a closed meeting of House Republicans. “And I’m frankly proud of the fact the prime minister has accepted our invitation, and will be here on March 3 to talk to the members of Congress about the serious threat that Iran poses, and the serious threat of radical Islam.”
> 
> Boehner’s invitation has faced withering criticism from everyone from the Obama administration to pro-Israel groups. Netanyahu faces reelection in mid-March, and Boehner’s critics say the U.S. appears to be meddling in a foreign election.
> 
> Netanyahu, who had originally been set to speak to Congress in mid-February, will also appear in March at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference in Washington.
