If the citizens of this Republic still took the Constitution seriously, Obama would be impeached for his decision to unilaterally grant amnesty to certain illegal aliens.
Article 1, Sec. 8 of the Constitution, which enumerates the power of Congress, states that "Congress shall have the Power To... establish an [sic] uniform Rule of Naturalization."
Congress has passed numerous laws pertaining to immigration and naturalization, including laws requiring the deportation of illegals.
The role of the President, according to Article II, Sec. 3, is to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Obama's refusal to execute Congress's immigration laws (or, for that matter, Congress's Defense of Marriage Act) is an impeachable offense.
Article II, Sec. 4 states that the President "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for... Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors."
The deliberate failure to enforce valid immigration law and allow hordes of foreigners to live and work in the U.S. is, arguably, "treason," and doing so in an election year to appease Hispanic voters could certainly be considered "bribery."

Congress is in bed with the President also. If they weren’t, he would have been impeached and/or his birthplace determined. Folks the Republicans want cheep labor (immigrants) and the Democrats want new voters. Until that alliance is broken, we are in deep kimchi as a nation.
IMPEACH BO.
He has instructed his minions to blatantly FLOUT United States law, in violation of his Oath of Office. This is criminal behavior.
He has REWARDED lawbreakers with immunity from deportation, and with renewable work permits, which will have a detrimental economic impact on US CITIZENS (the citizens he is elected to serve as President of the United States). Any president of the US who elevates the interests of foreign nationals over the interests of US citizens is engaging in treasonous actions.
IMPEACH him for openly and brazenly and proudly flouting US law.
He is not taking "Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" - he is systematically tearing them down in classic tyrannical style.
Isn't that profoundly......the truth!
If we took the Constitution seriously, I would already have a copy of Obama’s booking photo.
I think Obama knows that Joe Arpaio is about to drop a credible bomb on him regarding his fakes and forgery. That is why he is in desperation mode, and picked the illegal alien battle to draw a line in the sand. The alien battle in Arizona would give O an issue with Arizona and Sheriff Joe to use as a deflection. I sense that this huge hoax (O) on America is about to face the sunlight from Sherrif Joe in the next couple of weeks.
It would be racist to impeach a black president./s
YES
Funny how EVERYONE in our CONGRESS and COURTS, overlooking such a little “technicality” as obama’s eligibility for office, opened a yawning breach in the entire system of law and government based on the Constitution
In such an environemnt of treachery there is nothing the Constitution prohibits that cannot be instituted, like an EO to grant amnesty to a selection of the illegal immigrants while ignoring the other illegal immigrants not named in the EO. But I doubt black voters will get a clue from this blatant illegality which hurts them perhaps more than any ethnic group in America!
When I raise this notion, some jump in to play alinsky tactics, scoffing that such a large scale conspiracy is a figment of my imagination, that so many cannot be so corrupt and organized to that corruption. But all these scoffers need do is look at what happened in Argentine in the 1990s to see that the congress and scotus can participate in such corruption and do it with impunity. Roberts, Kagan, and Sotomeyer were placed on the SCOTUS for a reason.

Well, don’t impeach his black half, just his white half.
Maybe the black half will get the hint and trail along.
Worth a shot...
Let's fix that.
I think you meant "A man from Mississippi was appointed President, divided the country with a war, trashed the Constitution, and couldn't prevent the slaves being freed."
Why you want to lead off discussion with something about half your audience would strongly object to is a mystery. Is putting down Lincoln and titillating a few Confederate die-hards worth antagonizing most of the country.
If Obama wasn’t half-black, he probably would have been impeached already.
Is ironic that the first Black President made slaves of us all.
BINGO!
Methinks this is what 0bama really wants. He thinks it will consolidate his power, and keep him in office. Methinks his thinking will cause a calamity of biblical proportions. Ending with his head on a pike.

With the exception of my 6th great grandfather, John Carpenter (a neighbor, close associate, friend and revolutionary brother in arms of one George Washington) in my paternal grandmother Robinson’s family, my other English and German ancestors waited in sometimes years long lines, got on a hot, crowded, rickety ship, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Ellis Island.
My wife’s English and Irish ancestors also waited in sometimes years long lines, got on a hot, crowded, rickety ship, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Ellis Island.
There they were deloused, given a cursory medical exam, interrogated, their immigration papers checked and, with just what they were able to carry, took the ferry to the mainland to begin their lives as “Americans.” Those who did not have a complete grasp of English soon undertook formal and informal of the native language and the rest, as they say, is history.
That’s how it USED TO BE DONE.
The 14th Amendment, INTENDED by the drafters to ONLY grant citizenship to emancipated slaves by overturning the Dred Scott decision, has been tortured beyond recognition by the radical left to also include so-called “anchor babies” born to Latinas who stroll across the border to download junior HERE to bypass all the normal immigration processes described above. As an intern in a San Diego ER, my late niece caught many of those babies as part of her OB/GYN training.
By executive fiat, today Obama just took the first step to COMPLETELY open our borders (trust me, it is the first step only!) His action makes FOOLS of those who, like our great-great grandparents, played by the rules. It also makes fools of those waiting in those overseas lines to come here THE RIGHT WAY!!!
A wag declared that a nation without borders is NOT A NATION!!
A Latino “immigration lawyer” on FNN this morning said that if Congress doesn’t like it, they can change the law. He went on to say “THEY DON’T HAVE THE GUTS.” Sadly, he’s right. But if these clowns on Jenkins’ Hill think those latinos (legal and illegal) are going to vote for the GOP, they should be careful to not let their minds wander: They’re too small to be out alone.
Not that it would do any good, I called my congresscritters’ (202-224-3121) this morning to ask when they plan to offer Articles of Impeachment for this, the Law of the Seas Treaty, the activities of Holder, et al, the waste of taxpayer bucks on the green jobs idiocy, etc., etc. I’ll spare you the entire list as it runs to a few hundred pages. If impeachment is not their plan, I asked them to have the decency to RESIGN as the first branch of this government is clearly no longer needed and Obama could use the bucks saved to help buy the coming “election” or perhaps resume his taxpayer funded World Tour.
Bottom line? If you are STILL unconvinced that this guy is a clear and present danger to YOUR way of life, you probably live in a refrigerator crate behind a vacant warehouse. And if that is NOT your current living condition, re-elect this guy and it shortly will be.
I think that was done intentionally so he could re do it in private with the Koran.
I think you meant, 'republic'. The US is not now, nor has it ever been a 'democracy', although it sure has tended to function that way.
Actually, we've fallen from even being a democracy, if you look at our real condition. We're more of a fascist oligarchy than anything, today.
