I know the attempt to remove William Jefferson Clinton from office failed. But, his sexual trysts, and lies under oath, were nothing in comparison to how our current President is destroying this nation.
I feel certain, he would be reelected today with the votes of the Blacks, Liberals and The Stone-cold Stupid. I'm just curious; at this point in time, should the GOP re-take control of both Houses, could any of Obama's actions be construed as Impeachable Offenses?
It takes 67 Senators to remove a President.
I dunno...
Does a bear defecate in the woods?
Do fish breathe water?
Do skunks stink?
Do Democrats lie when their lips move?
He has committed no impeachable offense no matter what you read here. If you want him out, work against splitting the conservative vote. Work to defeat him in 2012. Work to circumscribe his ability to act by a resounding defeat of the Dims in 2010.
If someone shows he does not meet the qualifications to be president, he might have to give up the office. But that is different than an impeachable offense. [BTW, Clinton certainly committed impeachable offenses and should have been removed.]
Does a bear sh*t in the woods?
He perjured himself in a civil lawsuit where he was being sued.
Perjury was not, and is not, a minor issue. Clinton was disbarred for it.
President Obama has not yet been shown to have committed any high crimes or misdemeanors, but he has run the razors edge, in my opinion, with his quid pro quo behavior in more than a couple of instances. Bribery is an impeachable offense, and his people had better make sure he doesn't step a toe over the line because the right people are watching.
Agree with this.
The impeach every president thing is old political hat. Leftists wanted it done to Bush. Unless some clear breach of the law is shown which is intentional just wait for the next few rounds of elections. Voters have had enough of Dem control already.
Obama is NOT moving to the center as Clinton did. Obama will be a one-term president and take his party down with him for the next decade.
I think giving away federal judgeships for votes is far worse than accepting Yankee tickets.
“I feel certain, he would be reelected today with the votes of the Blacks, Liberals and The Stone-cold Stupid.”
Granted, the country is full of neo-Marxist, other blacks, and very stupid.
I do not, however, think he would win an election today.
He did not win by a landslide in 08.
The angry white voters are now ruing the day that they threw their little temper tantrum.
Stupid is, as stupid does.
His history, whether he is eligible for the office.
Attempted sale of his former IL senate seat. Blagojovich knows where those bodies are buried.
According to Joe Sestak he was offered a job by the White House to drop his primary run against Specter. That is a felony.
Just off the top of my head.
Ask Blago, Sestak, and the Congressman whose bro. Bambi just appointed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. That’s a start.
It may take 67 president senators . However it world take 67 senators and an impeachable offence. Even though this is extremely offensive to most, he has yet to give us an impeachable (under the constitution) reason to out his butt.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Even if there are impeachable offenses, impeachment proceedings are a political loser for the Republicans -- as we saw in 1998 when they lost seats and lost the battle of public perception in the process. Fair or not, too many people have the perception of impeachment as an attempt to undo the results of a lawful election. Also, the way it goes down makes those bringing the action appear to many to be vengeful and vindictive, which is also not a good place to be politically.
Best to just neuter him and let him twist in the wind, powerless, for 2 years. Anyway, would Biden be any better? Would you want him in control of the nuke buttons? How about Pelosi?
As I said, he knows where the bodies are buried.
Maybe, and maybe not.
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Bribery is arguable, but he probably hasn't committed any higher level of that than most other politicians.
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort
Might be something there, if his party did not control both Houses of Congress.
He took the oath of office for the Presidency!
