BO is 10 times worse than Clinton ever was...impeach the bastard now!
gridlock bump
I do too! I think storming the Capitol is all right also. Stop them from conducting business. Our liberty is at stake! Those damn people are not listening.
I would also like to camp out on the Capitol grounds. Could they possibly run-off 500,000 of us?
No they couldn’t. A group of people that big has its own dynamic. If the common meme among the 500K was simply, “get as close to the Capitol as possible,” that is all it would take.
Right! Down and dirty by the numbers. I’ve had it.
Those people are not listening. His presidency is on the line.
Never mind about OUR REPUPLIC or the CONSITUTION they all swore to defend and uphold.
Its the Perfect Storm, a POTUS to the left of the CPUSA and a GOP led by ??? and an RNC led by an idiot who shuffles race cards and listens to "Social Media"
All hell is about to break loose.
These RED SONS OF BITCHES don't elect themselves.
16000 NEW IRS JOBS TO ENFORCE THE MARXISTS MANDATE!!!!
You’re preaching to the choir.
I don’t even associate with democrats.
You may see that written in the Constitution. But the US Senate is on record as not seeing it there. I'd thought like you until I read some history in the run up to Clinton's impeachment. The operative clause is Article II, Sect. 4:
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.
The Senate ruled that Senators weren't "civil officers" of the United States and thus weren't subject to impeachment. I don't know their reasoning, nor whatever meaning "civil officers" had in English common law, which I presume should have provided such definitions back in 1797. Thus I don't know enough to know whether their ruling was justified or just arrogant, but it's not been challenged since. You can only expel a US Senator. I DO recall, and suspect you will also, Dungheap Harkin at the start of Clinton's "trial" getting Rehnquist to rule essentially that the Senate could set its own rules for it. Perhaps that applied in 1797 as well.
Personally I'd like to impeach Bill Clinton from the civil office of "former President." Remove his staff, his pension, his SS protection (Clinton said it wasn't needed and time limited it for every President after him) and reduce him to hiding behind Hillary's skirts. Officially shun him for a legacy. None of the political excuses then against convicting him apply now, and most of those then voting against conviction now admit he was guilty.
When Sarah Palin is running for President her signs should read "Vote for or Deem in Palin 2012"
Senators can be impeached as can all govt officials. And it just takes a majority of the "House of Representatives" PRESENT for the vote to do so. Clinton was Impeached!
It just takes 2/3 vote of the Senators PRESENT to remove from office! Its called a trial when it gets to the Senate.
Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were the only 2 Presidents to be Impeached by the House. Then tried in Senate, Johnson was one vote short of be "removed from office". Clinton was I was between 9 to 15 votes from being removed from office, so in was not close. A lot of freepers get this mixed.
Who are "his forces". Without exception every US military man I've spoken to opposes his. Who's he going to call? Ghostbusters???
Sorry for the mistakes from previous post, I'm a little tired.

Johnson was one vote short of being "removed from office" in the Senate. Clinton was between 9 to 15 (?) votes from being removed from office in the Senate, so it was not close.

Actually I’m thinking about his youth corp group and related malcontents
His “forces” would be his merry band of Obamacore and college malcontents. Had I meant military, I would have written “military”.
They’re relentless and make one wonder what they’re thinking in DC.
It is mind boggling that Graham and Schumer are warming up for the amnesty push now.
Are they that insulated from reality or are they simply malicious?
