GOP Rep.: House ‘Probably’ Has the Votes to Impeach Obama
Mediaite ^ | 6/16/14 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 06/16/2014 6:10:23 PM PDT by Nachum

A Republican congressman said in a radio interview today that the House probably has the votes to impeach President Obama, if things got so bad that impeachment became their only recourse. Congressman Lou Barletta told Gary Sutton that the issue of impeachment is an important one to address with Obama “absolutely ignoring the Constitution and ignoring the laws.” A couple of Republicans have floated the idea of impeachment and the House having enough votes for impeachment before, and Barletta’s no different, claiming there’s a good chance impeachment could pass the Republican-led House if they took a vote. “For those that

The House should absolutely file Articles of Impeachment against this president. To do nothing, while acknowledging that he has broken the law, is not very statesmanlike. If the Senate fails to convict that is an historical fate that they will have to bear.

Give it time. Even the dems can’t ignore hard core evidence of crimes. Let them get the evidence in place first. Dems now look like idiots when they try to defend Hussein and I think they know it. There was a tabloid in the grocery store that had an angry picture of the Mooch screaming to BO “Whose side are you on?”

The media made Bubba’s scandal to be about sex, not lying under oath. Hussein and company has committed some serious crimes, makes Bubba look like a choir boy.

>> . Wait until a smoking gun appears,something that will disturb even senate democrats.<<

If the rape, torture and murder of a gay US Ambassador and the missing IRS emails doesn’t disturb them, NOTHING will.

“Probably” won’t work.

It’s got to be cast in stone.

Impeach him.

Then we have two in the modern era.

Nixon resigned under the threat of impeachment.

We could get lucky. But, not if we do not try.

Eleven Ways in which Obama could be removed from office:

By being declared a foe of the Constitution, and therefore an enemy of the people;

By being declared gravely mentally, physically, or morally unfit;

By being put on a sabatical, whereas another permanently takes his position;

By being persuaded by his Party, family, friends, polls, etc, that he should resign;

By Impeachment;

By being declared Persona non Grata, man without a country, by Congress;

By being declared too dangerous to continue; By being judged mentally unable to understand the duties of the presidency;

By declaring obsequiousness to another sovereign being Islam, Marxism, or another;

By being disappeared, and relocated on a foreign Island, like Napoleon. 

Obama could be sued by state or individual claiming he is risking American lives by refusing to protect the citizens from dangerous outside forces.

I VOTE FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE!

"Impeachment is only done by the House, similar to an arrest by a policemen. "

"Impeachment" means bringing charges, and the trying of those charges is judged by the Senate, similar to the trial.

I agree with you. What is to stop another president to go even further than Obama has; providing Obama will step down. Anyone supporting giving this more time, is making excuses— it almost sounds like; reminds me of the guy in South Carolina (who says give Obama more time to see if he does it again). The political correctness has been around since HW Bush and count those years up to his son, along with the republicans acting like cowards for how long now with Obama. And, some want to wait. There’s not much time before the country is completely destroyed by all of these corrupt politicians. No other president could get away with what he has. It is a disgrace.

No its not their only recourse. At this point they should be thinking seriously of invoking the25th Amendment and removing him from office. It is that bad.

You need Biden to go that route, and he would never play along.
