Dissenting opinion: Congress regularly visits and negotiates with foreign countries. they just can’t do binding things and that hasn’t been violated.
Original poster: At the very least, what has been violated is the respect and honor of the Presidential Office of the United States of America by both Boehner and Netanyahu.
It is my understanding that the US Attorney General could have sought a Supreme Court injunction against Boehner’s invitation or Netanyahus acceptance, but the conservative dominated Court would likely avoid the issue as political. Cowards.
Also, the Republicans in Congress interfered in the nuclear arms negotiation with the Iranian government when they sent that signed letter to the Iranians. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/11/us-iran-nuclear-kerry-letter-idUSKBN0M71T120150311
