Obama wants to make this week all about infrastructure

For the White House, it's infrastructure week.

Even as House Republicans debate a lawsuit against President Obama for overstepping his executive authority and critics focus on the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, Obama will instead put the spotlight on America's roads, bridges and railways.

Obama, who has expedited permitting for infrastructure projects, will announce additional executive actions this week, the White House said.
