They did it to themselves! Bet they didn’t think he’d ever get a chance to flip the scales on them!
Bkmk
Nice technical point, but they still don’t have 67 Senate votes.
Yes, well, when the prospect of Obama being impeached and convicted becomes more than an acid trip, maybe I’ll pay attention.
Impeachment of Obama is a collosal waste of time and effort. He is guilty, as a private citizen now, of having attempted a coup. Prosecute him on that... in our dreams, at least.
DEMOCRATS ARE LAW-LESS BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BALL-LESS!!!!
WAKE UP PUBBIES!! YOU WILL LOSE IF YOU DON"T START MOVING TRUMP'S AGANDA!!
Republicans will not impeach.
Well, Trump vs United States shot to Hell the Democrats’ arguments for criminally prosecuting the president... or did it?
Wikipedia reasonably well summarizes the ruling:
“Trump v. United States, 603 U.S. 593 (2024), is a landmark decision[1][2] of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court determined that presidential immunity from criminal prosecution presumptively extends to all of a president’s “official acts” – with absolute immunity for official acts within an exclusive presidential authority that Congress cannot regulate[1][2] such as the pardon, command of the military, execution of laws, or control of the executive branch.”
The catch is Obama sought to control the executive branch’s actions taken AFTER he left office. OK, it’s threading a needle because Obama did it while he was still in office, but I believe it’s relevant that he sought to control the actions of people like FBI director James Comey and CIA director John Brennan that they would make after he left office, not only through continuing policies until they were changed, but in maintaining fealty even after they were responsible to another administration.
BTTT
It looks like Trump is on the way to a solid win in 2026. Republicans could add to their majorities in the house and senate. They could get very close to having enough votes to impeaching Obama. Meanwhile Brennan, Comey, Hillary, et.al, stand trial for conspiracy to overthrow the president. That would be 7x24 fun.
Nothing will happen. It never does.
There’s one they forgot to pre-pardon.
What Obama did wasn’t within the scope of his Executive duties. Organizing a conspiracy of government officials to commit treason within your own country isn’t in a President’s job description or one of the official Executive rights or privileges granted by the U.S. Constitution. It’s called high crimes and misdemeanors.
I ***LOVE*** it when someone on the right has the wherewithal and the manhood to give democrats their own medicine, good and hard.
It amazes me that on a Constitutional web site, a lot of posters deny that a private citizen can be impeached (and convicted).
The Senate has punishments other than removal from office at its disposal - disqualification from holding any “office of trust or profit under the United States” being one very important one.
The history of impeachment begins with the procedure as a way for the Bouse of Commons to block appointments by the King without defying the King directly.
BE STILL MY HAPPY HEART !!!!!!!
Let’s be real.
The house can impeach Obama but the Senate will never convict Obama.
Those that vote to impeach or convict will pay someway some how
