Unsuccessful attempt could undermine GOP efforts to reverse amnesty order
Capitol Hill Republicans have furiously denounced President Obama’s executive action on immigration as illegal, unconstitutional and an abuse of the power of his office — but they get skittish when the talk turns to impeachment.
Even Rep. Steve King, one of the most fiery opponents of the president’s “executive amnesty” for illegal immigrants, backed away from his previous calls for impeachment.
“I don’t want to do the ‘I’ word. Nobody wants to throw the nation into that kind of turmoil,” the Iowa Republican told CNN immediately following Mr. Obama’s executive action.

The case needs to be made not just in Congress, but to the people. Reagan spoke to the people, I think that was part of his success. By speaking to the people and making the case to them public pressure is brought to bear on Congress. All the GOP hemming and hawing tells me they’re not up to the job, and Boehner and McConnell are nothing but schmoozers. Impeachment could be done, but the GOP has neither the will nor the chops for the job. They could at least keep their mouths shut, instead these half-wits announce all the things they won’t do.
“in 2016 repeatedly ask blacks if they are better off now than they were 8 years ago.”
It wouldn’t matter, democrats would still get 90%-95% of the black vote.
They never said that about Clinton or Nixon....
You see Bill Clinton, the master of sex on the job, the government job, parading and prancing about campaigning for all democrats, the leader of the party, tormented by his wife, and all mean republicans, who hate sex.
Impeached disgraced, disbarred, raking in six figure speaker fees, and his wife, running for president, about to take down the country in a fashion unknown to Obama despisers.
His claim to fame?
Impeachment.
Oh, that went on for years, for all the world to see. And not nearly as long as the Benghazi non investigation.
How can anyone have the slightest question about this?
Impeachment? Do we want 1000 Fergusons?
Basically, the EGOP is saying Congress should be disbanded and we should simply elect a dictator for 4 years at a time since Congress is unable to hold an out of control President accountable.
I mean, we’ve heard the eGOP say Congress’s job is only for passing spending bills, and we know that hasn’t been constitutional lately, so why are being taxed to pay for a Congress that does nothing for us and cannot protect us?
The republicans should make it so that the Democrats demand that Obama resign.
This organization was founded around the idea of impeaching Bill Clinton. We got the Bill of Indictment (Impeachment). But Arlen Specter - then a republican - cited Scottish law and folded like too many others.
Clinton deserved Impeachment. Obama is as treacherous, if not more.
That is, if they're conservative enough.
And that's a mighty big "if".
The GOP would rather martyr the republic.
You two are talking about impeachment. Most of us are talking about impeachment.
The House could do that before the end of the year and Obama could consider it his Christmas present from us for barring us from our White House, along with several hundred other material grievances.
I’m having trouble understanding this attitude I see here lately, “It’s just too much trouble/effort, no, we can’t we isn’t, it will never work, Oh, the pain! The pain!”
That’s the kind of stuff the ‘rats have loved hearing for six (6) years.
Well, the mid-term elections are over. We won. And the establishment GOP is flat out of excuses for failing/refusing to fight for the American working class.
Impeach.
I hope that history records that these clowns did what was expedient instead of what was right.
And the rest of us right along with them. Martyr his ass. These people are so scared of being called racists it is pathetic.
As if the GOP wants to reverse it. They just want to do more and take the “credit”.
I say impeach him, remove him from office, and immediately allow Egypt to extradite him.
Then he is sort of a martyr, in a way that damages rather than energizes the Democrats.
Our wise forefathers probably foresaw the impeachment of b.j. clinton for high crimes and misdemeanors (lying under oath) and the potential that he wouldn’t be removed from office by a gutless, bi-partisan senate.
Which would merely be replayed if zero were impeached in 2015.
The founders provided a means to circumvent this betrayal of the people’s trust. Congress has the power of the purse. Shut. That. Piece. Of. Excrement. (barrackturdbama) Down.
Do NOTHING that benefits him. Pass -every- piece of legislation as a separate bill. Every freaking piece of funding should be meticulously compartmentalized so that he will be isolated and everything he wants and needs will be rejected and nullified.
It’s the only way to be sure.
bi-partisan should read “partisan”
Its really a shame the POSs in Washington don’t share our love of liberty and freedom.
