The House left for vacation for a month anyway, not doing what Boehner said they would get done before vacation, leaving multiple bills already passed by the Senate sitting there unaddressed.

This Republican House under Boehner has worked less days than any House in modern times. They have passed a historically low amount of legislation. They have replaced the famous "Do Nothing" congress of the past with the "Do Nothing congress of 2010".

Although they have managed to bring to the floor and pass multiple futile attempts to repeal the ACA, and passed over 40 anti-woman forced birth bills, spending millions of dollars on ... Doing Nothing.
