Impeachment is the only procedural mechanism in the American system of government that can be used to remove from office a president who has willfully abused his executive power under the Constitution.
Technically there are other extraordinary measures that can be taken, but these measures cannot fully address in an expeditious manner the present crisis of executive abuse of power by this president.
In my view the problem we have today is not whether the case can be made for the impeachment of the president, but rather the frivolous arguments made by many commentators and political partisans that prevent us from moving forward. Here are some of these arguments.

Like I said, the problem is not the Articles of Impeachment, because I’m sure the votes are there for that. But since everyone knows that the Democrats in the Senate are not going to “convict” ... no one is going to waste their time for something that dead-ends.
What would get the Democrats to “convict” ... well ... it would have to be something that gets them so mad that they don’t care that Obama is a Democrat.
I’m not sure what that might be.
Look, this guy has screwed up enough and done enough irreparable damage intentionally, if it were a white guy in the Oval Office, they’d go after him with everything possible...Including impeachment and criminal charges...
This is not even debatable...
It’s the unfortunate thing that we are all - always - forced to come to terms with (in many different areas of life) ... it’s called “reality”.
If it were a white guy sitting in the Oval Office, theyd go after him with everything possible...Including impeachment and criminal charges..
You’re not denying this are ya?
If this was a “white Obama” I think we would be in exactly the same shape.
Clinton is white and the Democrats wouldn’t convict ... black or white, the Democrats won’t convict.
I am not talking decades ago...I am talking about now, with OBAMA..
If it were a white guy sitting in the Oval Office, theyd go after him with everything possible...Including impeachment and criminal charges..
Youre not denying this are ya?
Yes, I’m saying that because of Clinton and the Democrats not convicting ... that anyone with a memory of that in Congress is NOT GOING TO DO SO - BLACK OR WHITE - because the Democrats will do the same thing again.
I can only repeat this so many times before I get the idea that you just don’t want to accept my answer,
Youre not denying this are ya?
Yes
Well you're wrong...LOL!
BTW, we’re talking about what OBAMA has done, right here, right now. We’re not about simply lying under oath about some sex gig like Clinton did..
This is total night and day comparing Clinton BS to what Obama has done.
Or should I say black and white?
They’re already going after Obama with everything they can, considering that Obama has already had 12 US Supreme Court decisions against him. No other President has had that.
It’s just that the Impeachment process with criminal charges is not going to be done, because it’s a dead-end, because of the Democrats in the Senate and the example of Clinton.
The court system is the “open door” for going after Obama, while the Impeachment process won’t work for any President, black or white.
The Democrats don’t care what the charges are ... they are going “party line” no matter what. Reid will make sure of that.
Theyre already going after Obama with everything they can
What a hoot...
How does he manage to hold up?
What you don’t seem to get is that no matter what Democrat President is in office the Democrats in the Senate are not going to convict ... and that’s black or white.
It what does work, no matter whether black or white - is the court system, as evidenced by the 12 US Supreme Court decisions against Obama.
Well sure...You could really tell today when he was meeting with a big crowd of fed gov employees who were demanding raises, while he did nothing but praise them...As he spit in our eyes for the 500th time.
How does he manage to hold up?
All this pressure....Ya think he might resign?
lol...
Not very well, because he complains that the GOP keeps blocking everything he does ... LOL ...
He’s a good actor ... :-) ...
Uh huh...
No ... I don’t expect him to resign ... but I do expect him to keep getting blocked with some more cases against him.
