You have to have overwhelming evidence for all of those, and the political will to see it through. Do you think that we can win enough of the House and Senate to pull it off? You’d need super-majorities in both houses.
Yes, Impeachment is the process by which the House determines that there have been “high crimes or misdemeanors” sufficient to refer to the Senate for a trial. A simple majority vote is needed. The Senate does the trial, presided over by the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS. If they find him guilty(by a two thirds majority), then he can be removed.
Do you have some useful to contribute, or are you going to act like a lib and throw insults?
I someone can show me that there is a way to get him out of office that is iron-clad, please do so. I welcome debate and argument.
This is getting a real “mafia” kind of feel to it. Given the players, I guess that should be expected. I would also expect that Obama will “take care” of Emanuel, as long as he stays on the reservation. He’ll get pardoned, and a nice, lucrative job will be waiting for him. I don’t think he’ll talk.
Anyone that writes a blog should be executed!
Leave the name calling to the left, and show me where I’m wrong. I’d happily admit it and move on. We need to stay on facts and ideas, not on personal attacks. We’re not ACORN, or a bunch of (Dis)Organizing for America trolls.
Well at least we could criticize him without being called a racist

Very good article.
You raise good points. If we can’t win electorally, then we’re hosed no matter what we do.
Going along those lines, if we can win an election, then we can’t get to the point of impeaching him anyway.
We’ve been in a war of ideas for 100 years. Obama is little more than the current standard bearer for those ideas. Do we attack the failed ideas, or the man? We can remove the man from power, and the ideas will remain. If we win the battle of ideas, and we can, both the ideas and the man are defeated.
Yes. Any enduring political body needs an edifice of ideas that is more important than the physical edifice. A system of thought needs to be consistent. Consistency applied to a human being is called integrity. If the edifice of public policy, i.e. its philosophy, is not consistent, it can’t endure, and the body politic will not endure.
It is ironic to think that the only elected POTUS to be impeached holds Obama’s future in his hands. If Bubba wants Obama to join him in that infamous list of impeached presidents, all he has to do is tell the truth. Will Bubba lie for Obama or not?
Thanks. I seem to have cause a stir with this one.
In view of the process, whether or not he should be impeached is a purely academic exercise.
“WHen someone is so EVIL and literally destroying our country, if we can impeach him, we MUST. “
Only problem with that is... that if we just impeach Obama.... the rest of the administration remains in tact. And how much better will it be with Biden running the show?
If there was a way to recall and have another Election now then that is different and so long as that is the case then we need to have a strong candidate. Otherwise, the left will then try the same tricks on whoever wins on the Right.
You do understand that the whole Progressive part is rotten to core, right? Its how they chose Obama to win and how people who are as dangerous and even more so surround him.
Yes, but that doesn’t mean he will be removed, does it?
Obama should be impeached and I don’t care who succeeds him. Even a monkey would be better.
Seriously, Biden is a buffoon and an idiot, but the press is not in awe of him as they seem to be of Obama.
If the MSM would just start in on Obama, he wouldn’t last a month.
This chump is staying here. Get over yourself.
“I think the term that best describes Obama is hubris.”
He’s a malignant narcissist, and the malignancy has spread throughout our country.
