The Supreme Court has a rule ... it will not hear any case for impeachment unless both branches of government the House and the Senate agree and come together asking for impeachment.

We do not have a majority in the Senate thus Boehner's hands are tied for getting impeachment. I do not know how long this rule has stood. I do know we attempted to impeach Bill Clinton. We saw how recently the Republicans/conservatives successfully were labeled as causing the government "shut down" a few weeks ago. Which was not true.

So with the medias against truth we are not doing very well.

Totally untrue. The courts have nothing to do with impeachment other than the Chief Justice presiding over the trial in the Senate. Impeachment is a political process, not a legal process. The House brings charges by a majority vote, which is the actual act of impeachment. The Senate holds the trial, and it takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict and remove.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

WRONG!

Zipper-Boy Clinton was Impeached by the US House of Reps.

The US Senate voted to not remove Zipper-Boy from being removed from office.

THE NINE SUPREMES have nothing to do with Impeachment by the House, or Removal from Office by the Senate.

Boehner’s DUTY is to bring Articles of Impeachment on a president that deserves to be Impeached, because an Impeachment must begin in the House.

No president has ever been more deserving of Impeachment than B. Hussein Obama.

No Speaker of the House has been more cowardly in performing his duties than John “Benghazi Cover-Up” Boehner.

No Majority Party in the house has been more derelict in their blind support of a dysfunctional Speaker of the House than the sorry RINOs currently in the House.
