At the first of December the House Judiciary Committee held hearings about whether or not Barack Obama has upheld his oath of office by following and enforcing the laws of the land.
It seems clear from that hearing that Obama has indeed broken his oath. South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy (R) asked pertinent questions with regard to the issue at hand. Now, his colleague, South Carolina Representative Tom Rice (R), is set to file a resolution to direct Congress “to bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief to challenge certain policies and actions taken by the executive branch.” This could inevitably lead to impeachment of Barack Obama
While the House hearing dealt with several laws that Obama ignored or re-wrote apart from Congress, the specific one in question was his signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. He has engaged in waivers and rewriting of the law at will, which is unconstitutional according to Article I, Section 1 and Article II, Section 3.
Article I, Section 1 states:
All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Article II, Section 3 states:
He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
“President Obama has adopted a practice of picking and choosing which laws he wants to enforce. In most cases, his laws of choice conveniently coincide with his Administration’s political agenda. Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by Congress and vested this power in the President. However, President Obama has chosen to ignore some of the laws written by Congress and implemented by preceding Presidents,” Rice wrote in a letter to fellow House members to ask them to co-sponsor this resolution.
“This resolution allows the House of Representatives to bring legal action against the Executive Branch and challenge recent actions, inactions, and policies,” he added.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us...
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
How are you going to punish right around half of the voting-age population of the country?
I'm afraid they're going to have to punish themselves. All our side can do is try to self-protect.
To answer the headline: There’s not a complete set of cajones in the combined houses of Congress.
No. Congress is too busy hiding the blood on their hands and can’t afford to have the obama thugs bring more out to the open.
From one Vet to another: you flat nailed it!
I have to agree that he will never be impeached. Although if he keeps it up and I think he will they may end up invoking the 25th ammendment and remove him which I think they probably have grounds to do over this Iranian policy if nothing else.
This “white folk” does not fear being labeled racist. And I’m quite confident I’m not alone.
It's a scientific fact, WORMS don't have spines.
The Republican party agrees with the socialist direction of the Democrats so there will be no impeachment.
Other than a handful of known patriotic American Republicans, I will not vote for a Republican again, no Democrats, and will use my vote to vote for independents and TEA Party supporters, even if it means leaving that item blank on the ballot. I will not vote for the lesser of two evils as that is still voting for evil.
Thanks IbJensen.

Impeachment of Obama does not make sense until the Dems no longer control the Senate. Hopefully, that will happen after the 2014 elections.
You're one of the few on this thread who get it.
Most of the rest seem French to me. Surender monkeys.
I doubt Boner would ever sign it...
NO
I’m afraid they’re going to have to punish themselves.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Just like the Brits punished themselves in 1776-1765, just like the Germans punished themselves 1938-1945, and just like the Japanese punished themsleves from 1941 to 1946. They all punished themselves with fascism. And that is exactly what America is punishing itself with now.RINOS will not, cannot, admit that to themselves or anybody.
Now if those little political class , a$$ licken RINOs want to genuflect before these Obama fascists, then they can lick every Obama lolly pop they want.But sooner or later they will fell the poison, but right now wouldn’t recognize Obama poison if they had it rubbed over every inch of their pudgy, corpulent, rotting, corrupt bodies.
For those of us who do recognize that poison,, we will hunker down, and wait until the right moment . We conservatives are “counter -revoplutionaries, and its time we recognized that fact and acted accordingly. We should take no prisoners,and primary every RINO who runs.And if we lose, we need to attack RINOs where they eat, drink , and live, no peace, IN PUBLIC! Run them off.
Its already begun. Obama has successfully nationalized our health care and medical system.And America does not even know it yet, they are still whining.
I want a moderately trained pilot flying my plane.
I want a mediocre lawyer defending me in court.
I like movies that are just ok.
So I guess moderate political parties are ok...< /sarc >
