(Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said on Friday that President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration has sabotaged chances for bipartisan legislation.

Boehner said House Republicans intend to fight the president's action, which was announced on Thursday, but did not detail a course of action. He indicated Obama's decision to use his executive authority and bypass the U.S. Congress, where immigration legislation has stalled, could taint future efforts.
