The oath is not to the Country, it's to the Constitution:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Art. II Sec 2
However the Constitution also requires that:
"he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,"
Art. II sec 3.
Obama's mother was born in Kansas, but we sure as h#)) aren't in Kansas anymore...
That's OK, the Constitutional definition of treason is different than the dictionary one.
The Constition says:
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
I’m sure Boehner is right on top of this.
If Obama does provide this information, he should be impeached. He isn’t a good enough security risk as it is, and I have a hard time thinking of something more vital to this nation’s national defense, than our nuclear weapons technology.
I would invite him to the Hill as a courtesy to discuss the issue, and if he didn’t bother to show up, I’d start impeachment proceedings.
This is totally unacceptable. It’s intolerable, and Congress must take action.
This technology must not be passed.
I.M.P.E.A.C.H.
It would be treason if therer was an opposition party who weren’t Ken Dolls.
This storyu has been out for weeks and not ONE mention of it by any candidate in the debates,Maybe Marianne Gingrich could have answered the question
Impeachment proceeding must start in the House. They can issue the finding of Impeachment. The case then moves to the Senate where the trial begins. Only the Senate can issue a verdict of Conviction and Removal from office. BTW, both Conviction and Removal are separate votes. They could Impeach and Convict BHO, but vote against Removal.
Until the Republicans hold a commanding majority in both Houses during a Declared War, calls for Impeachment of a sitting President on the finding of Treason, are legally mute.
Due to the recent decision by the Republican Party to commit suicide in the choice of candidates to replace BHO, and the general public’s preference to treat Presidential elections as a popularity contest, said person will be reelected.
The End of the Age in Dec 2012 is not the asteroid strike and the resulting Extinction Level Event (ELE), but the date that all the votes are finally certified from the US Presidential election and BHO is reelected ... and
The Age of America is ended.
Well, okay then. I guess tax resistance is just fine.
Communists don’t honor treaties. Barack Hussein Obama is a Communist and a liar.
I'm pretty sure that by now his personal guard has been stripped of anyone who even hints at having more patriotism than personal loyalty.
Despite all outward appearances, the lessons of history are not lost on this one.
Indeed. A traitor is subject to a trial and upon conviction, a hanging.
Non-uniformed enemy combatants (spies and saboteurs) can be shot on sight.
Not that I'm advocating that, and indeed, it would be a VERY BAD THING to make him a martyr in the left's eyes.
It's just the legal reality.
Although I am as certain as I can be that he is not a Natural Born Citizen, I think he might actually be a citizen and therefore rates a fair and open trial.
Congress did declare war.
/sarcasm
We are screwed. The sooner more people realize this, the sooner we can start having real conversations about putting things to rights.
Newt should be talking about this....he can expose Obama’s treason. Where are Washington DC Republicans on this? Completely silent. We spend billions and billions on developing this technology just to hand it over to Russia who will sell it to their allies. Infuriating!
Mute as in it a waste of time to harp on impeachment, and calls of treason. The legal term ‘moot’ is lost on too many.
The Constitution does not specify the exact words, the turn of phrase, congress must use to declare a war.
Don’t put me in the we category,thanks!
It’s more “In Your Face” to Congress, and thus to the American people. All we have to do is let him know that we don’t want something done, and he trips over his big feet trying to get it done.
NDAA: He was asked to remove the sections pertaining to detention of American citizens without habeas corpus or right to a lawyer—in other words, indefinitely and without recourse.
So he made sure those sections stayed in. Snakily said he wouldn’t sign it, and then did, on New Year’s Eve.
GIVING RUSSIA OUR HARD-EARNED DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY: It was especially inserted in the NDAA that he cannot do this, so he did it, of course.
“Tell me what you want so I can do the opposite.”
This is worse than the curtailment of free speech. He’s letting us continue talking so he knows what to do: the opposite.
I am sick with worry for Ameria and the paralysis of the people who should be doing something about this. It’s like the Devil has their tongue.
