Could the President face impeachment, if the Supreme Court strikes the 'Slaughter Solution'?

“deem and pass”, the most outrageously anti-democratic scam ever seen in American political life

Not only impeachment, but imprisonment.

[Lazamataz]

This guy does not understand the dynamics of US politics.

To impeach, you have to have Congress and Senate willing to impeach.

And there is NOTHING Obama can do that will cause THAT.

[trisham]

I sure hope so.

[tatsinfla]

yes but isn’t it the dem controlled gov’t that would have to vote to impeach him...??...like that would happen...

[b4its2late]

He won’t face impeachment until we take back both houses of congress, and even then, I don’t think they’d have the nads.

All but lost control? Obama and his fellow travelers in DC are utterly out of control.

[MissesBush]

Let it be and let it be swiftly. This scumbag is an enemy to our Republic and legal remedies need to be employed to stop him. That said, the Congress is just as much a part of the Obama criminal cabal/cult and will do nothing to hold this man accountable for anything. He could commit armed robbery and Pelosi and Reid would hold the door of the 7-11 for him.

[HerrBlucher]

Not with the current congress, but a new one full of pubbies and a VERY angry public supporting them might do the trick.

[opentalk]

bttt

[Churchillspirit]

deem and pass

More like demon pass

[DarthVader]

True. Your tagline represents a growing sentiment that is increasing daily.

I agree with you. I just don’t see the GOP going there with Obama.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

The Dems won’t control the House after November!

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Yeah, I remember Lott running a “sham trial” of Clinton in the Senate. He got 100 votes to run a pretend trial.

[GonzoGOP]

Although he should, he won't. The simple fact is that he would be like someone holding counterfeit currency. If you didn't print the currency all they can do is take it away. The law would be overturned, and Queen Nancy and the Dutchess of Slaughter might be in a bit of trouble. But Obama can just play stupid. After watching the FOX interview the other day it appears that he is quite good at that.

Like all the good students of the Daley/Alinski machine here in Chicago he has learned to let the loud mouth radicals do all the dirty work. That way when the indictments come they can be disposed of (bought off or sent for a swim in the Chicago River) and the leader has clean hands. I wonder if Pelosi packed her water wings.

What I think people are not understanding (because the press is not pointing it out) is that the “Slaughter” solution is simply the nickname given to what is called “deeming” which has been practiced since 1933 when there was a need to expand our ability to go into debt, which everyone knew needed to be done, but no one wanted to be seen voting for. Since 1933, this practice has gone on — admittedly on far smaller items than the Health Care Bill - with the full knowledge and consent of every part of our elected and appointed government. Congress allowed bills to pass that hadn’t been voted for, presidents signed those bills into law, and the Supreme Court never addressed the constitutionality (or lack thereof). Are we prepared to declare over 75 years of government impeached for their illegal actions? I’m in favor of it. Go back to every single one of those bills that were unconstitutionally passed and get rid of them. Even though it’s moot on most of them, perhaps a re-dedication to our Constitution is the only way to go. Getting rid of all current elected officials who have agreed to “deem” something passed. This isn’t a new problem, by any means. It’s also not one party or the other. Our entire government is corrupt.

When Obama signs this HC bill into law.. If the GOP doesn’t have the ball bearings to Impeach him.. they will be done as a political party.. there will be a third party.. and people will vote for that third party like never before.
