Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice.

Unfortunately I don't think incompetency is an impeachable offense, and treason is defined in the Constitution as "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

We don't want a vague definitions of treason being used to execute political enemies. We have a lot of relationships with other countries that are mixed at best. Sometimes we work together towards a goal and other times we work towards our own interests.

Treason would be extremely difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, especially because the President has a right to have his own views on what is best for out country.

We as a nation made the mistake of electing Obama. We also made the mistake of electing majorities in Congress that are helping push a lot of his agenda forward.

We have a representative form of government, and we as a nation have chosen our representatives poorly. That is what we need to change. Otherwise we could elect a small government conservative and Congress could turn on him and charge him with treason for trying to dismantle the over reaching government they have worked to build.

Few people seem to understand that it is the Constitution that defines our government, not the politicians in office. In many ways we the federal government has left the Constitution so far behind that you would have to change most politicians with treason for working against the Constitution if you charged one.
