Wouldn't a lack of constitutional qualifications to be president serve as a proper basis for impeachment?

In January, won't Speaker Boehner have the power to create an impeachment committee, if only for the purpose of investigating Obama's qualifications for office by subpenaing relevant documents?

Can you hear me, Speaker Boehner?

Pelousey vetted him and authorized him as the democrat candidate. Make a deal with her. She's too proud, spoiled, and pampered to pass up something special. A statue made of Botoxed Rock or something.

She can give him up if she needs or wants to.

You are correct. The House will certainly have the power to investigate and subpoena all relevant documentation, which is what most of us would like to see, not necessarily impeachment.

The main problem with impeachment, of course, is that while impeachment requires a simple majority in the Republican House, conviction requires a 2/3 majority in the Democratic Senate.

They couldn’t get a majority vote in the Senate against Clinton when it had 55 GOP Senators!

Boehner’s top priority should be creating jobs, not spend time
on searching for the original BC of president Zero.

No, impeachment is for high crimes or misdeamenors. If not constitutionally eligible he would simply stop being president until such time as he is eligible. In the case of the natural born citizenship issue, that would be never.

Better yet, I hope 5-10 states pass a law that requires anyone to be on the state presidential ballot to submit proof of natural born citizenship.

No federal agency, court or other entity would have any recourse.

If Obababa was a conservative Republican, his birth credentials would be front and center and anally investigated.

That he is an extreme leftist Dem means the law does not apply to him.

Our country is just a big, corrupt banana republic.

And will stay so, until Liberals of all Parties are out of the political system.

Actually you are correct and it is the job or obligation of the house the verify the qualifications as in “citizenship” of a president. The constitution has basic requirements for the office of president and being a Natural Born Citizen is one of them. Obamma could be removed from office if found he is not the above. You can bet the money trail coming out of the Soros camp is considerable to keep that from happening.
