"No congressman/woman has power to impeach Obama, unless he violates a particular law severely and clearly worthy of impeachment, or behaves so irreprehensibly as Clinton or others in WH."
Actually, it's just like a lawsuit, any member can introduce a resolution of impeachment at any time, just as anyone can lodge a lawsuit against you at any time. Then the members can argue about whether it meets the criteria. Once they do that and impeachment is approved, it's time for the trial in the Senate. And there it's supposed to be a matter of the burden-of-proof, which for impeachment is very low, amounting to "do we trust this guy anymore" (unlike civil law, in which the goal-line is a preponderance of evidence, and criminal law, in which the goal-line is guilt-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt).
Any member could lodge a resolution of impeachment today. It's worth pondering why they don't.

LOL, there is not a legal reason for impeachment yet, but hopefully soon. AND there is not support for it in Congress, and hopefully the “voting public” will start a new majority in NOV 2010.

“..Any member could lodge a resolution of impeachment today. It’s worth pondering why they don’t...”
That’s too easy...they won’t do it because he’s BLACK. You know, the “transformational nature of this presidency” and all that other crap...
No one has the balls to do this because they’re TERRIFIED of beuing called “Racist!!!!” As if THAT is THE single most EEEEEEEEEEEVIL appellation on the planet.
IMO - Yeah, OK, fine, call me a racist - if wanting to protect the American “race” from socialism, fanatical muslim terrorists, and from the amatuer socialist puppet in the WH and his susbversive RICO political party is “racist”, then yes, I am. And I don’t give a rat’s *ss.
To The GOP: Reach down into your pants, either FIND or GROW a pair, and DO YOUR DAMNED JOB. Here’s a hint: You’re called this ANYWAY, no matter WHAT you do.
‘bout sums it up...
