Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that President Barack Obama “would be impeached” if the nation falls into default.

Dennis Kucinich called my mother about impeaching him over Libya. That would have been particularly appropriate if he had actually been the one calling instead of a hired caller considering my Mom’s dementia. But in this case I would have to agree with him in spite of his space cadet condition.

Clinton was impeached, made not a bit of difference, did it.

Had he been facing another election it might have made a lot of difference.

Clinton was impeached, but it failed and he remained in office. If the Pubs ever try to impeach again they better be able to prove what IS - IS or the party will go down in flames.

He might be impeached but he’ll never be removed from office and anyone that believes he will is ignorant of who runs the U.S. Senate.

Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said earlier this month it would be “an impeachable offense” for Obama to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval.

What good would it do besides making Obama a victim and adding an instant 20 points to his poll numbers? The Senate wouldn't even bring it to a vote.

Helped to prevent a President Al Gore as far as I'm concerned.

You got it. The Dems in the Senate would never convict him.
He would stick his head up in the air and give a victory speech when it was over, like Clinton did.
