Under what grounds does the White House have authority to sue Congress? Anything said on the floor in Congress is protected by the Constitution Article I Section 6:

for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.

It would have to be decided by the Judiciary if the WH could sue congress. The Judiciary allowed congress to sue the Obama White House, they could approve the White House suing congress for reasons outside of actual speech or debate in congress.

What I think they can and may do is sue because of the lack of due process on these most recent impeachment hearings. The house would not allow white house or state council into their closed doors impeachment discussion, which is an absolute civil rights violation. That is something the judiciary likely would allow the WH to sue congress for
