he can be impeached right up to the last day in office
Or would they have hearings to try and convict him of treason?
House of Representatives can indict; Senate is the jury....Bill Clinton was impeached and found innocent by the Senate. A bunch of no-ball bastards.
Yes, technically but to what end? The purpose of impeachment is to remove a corrupt official from office. There’s no point when the official will be leaving in two months anyway. No point in wasting time with comittee hearings, votes, a trial in the senate, etc.
Wouldn’t seem practical or worthwhile. Congress would have to do it in a lame duck session, and the Senate would never go along in either case. With just a few months left in his presidency, it would be spun as Congress wasting the people’s time.
I think better is to just keep this in the headlines throughout the lame duck months and disgrace this guy as much as possible as his presidency winds down...
Without conviction it is an asterisk.
Forget it.
The odds on Obama gettign impeached if he loses is zero.
(1) It taskes several months to get an impeachment process going. Not enough time left to make it happen.
(2) The libs would portray it as the Right just piling on and try to make the Repubs look like bad guys (they’d try to do that anyway but this would just give them more ammunition).
(3) Nobody wants to be the one to impeach the first black (or half black) President.
(4) The Repubs would be just as happy to have this thing hang around Obama’s and the DemoCRAPs necks for as long a they can.
Again.... ain’t gonna happen. I wish it would but... ain’t gonna happen.
a more pertinent question is, can he pardon himself?
Impeachment Charge: Assassination of Ambassador Stephens. Motive: Prevent release of Presidential data related to funding and arming Moslem Brotherhood.
It’s been obvious for some time that there is a strata in society that once you reach it, you are never held accountable for anything.
If (big if), any talk of impeachment or post election prosecution begins to gain traction with the public, you will quickly see Lord Lindsay and Bohner kill each other to first get their hands on a microphone to tell us that “This is a time for healing” and that it is not in the American interest to do so.
Anyone wanna claim I’m wrong?
Who cares about impeachment? It means nothing, not even removal from office. He needs to be hung for treason; that would work for me.
It is too late to impeach the Obozo and his hate American thugs like Holder, Panetta, and H. Clintoon surrounding him.
Wouldn’t it be better, if Obozo was arrested for Treason and high crimes at Andrews AFB on his way back to Chicago after President Romney is sworn in.
Then, have mass arrests of his Chicago rat thugs for treason/high crimes and abetting traitors/criminals at various DC area airports as they try to flee back to Chicago and other rat holes. If we miss their out going flights, arrest them at their home airports when their planes arrive. Invite Fox to video the rats being arrested in DC or at OHare.
Panetta and Clintoon need to be arrested for treason and other high crime criminal acts.
Let Panetta and Clinton work as land mine detectors and removal where ever our military needs them.
Arrest Holder for arming and enabling drug mafia murderers in Mexico. Send him to Mexico to help retrieve the guns and ammo he authorized to go there. Let the Mexican government deal with him, feed him and “protect“ him.
He can’t be impeached. Only a legal president can be impeached.
Handcuffed and frog marched to jail? Yes.
No, but he can be tried as a citizen for crimes he has committed. So, for example, if anyone produces concrete proof that he is Kenyan and not American, he can be tried for fraud and malfeasance.
THere are a variety of other scenarios that could sldo come into play but, IMO, if anyone successfully brings charges gainst him in civil or criminal court, it is most likely that he would be granted an Executive Pardon by the POTUS so that he could continue to be a pestilence upon our land.

Would he have to move the Census Bureau into the White House, directly under his control?
Would he have to allow Iran to keep one of our sensitive reconnaissance drones rather than retrieve or destroy it?

Would he have to refuse to meet with Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, concerning the nuclear Iran threat, while instead appearing on various TV shows including The View?
Would he have to say "The future does not belong to those who insult the Prophet Mohammed"?. Shouldn't our president be an ADVOCATE for free speech in America, instead of condeming it? Under Sharia Law it is illegal to insult the Prophet Mohammed, punishable be death. Which rule of law is Obama promoting here?
Well, he's done ALL of the above and suffered NO consequences let alone impeachment!
In any case...I would very much like to see Obama end up in jail and/or at the very least, stripped of any government pension and benefits.
I should think they can just arrest him and try him for treason...
In theory it could happen until the next president takes the oath of office but the timeline is too short and the only punishment available is removal from office upon conviction by the senate.
Do you have some reason want a Biden presidency even for 60 seconds?
