Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III declared in an exclusive Newsmax TV interview that President Barack Obama could easily be impeached if he bypassed Congress and enacted gun-control legislation by executive order.

That’s nice, but who is going to ACTUALLY impeach him?!

[Biggirl]

Best wishes on that.

“impeachment” means nothing to the leftest...been there done that via Bill Clinton.

(Texas) Rep. Steve Stockman already threatened to write and introduce “Articles of Impeachment” against obzozo if he signs an Executive Order attacking the 2nd Amendment.

Obama couldn’t be less interested in what stupid things the House does. Obama has an agenda and he’s hell bent on making it happen. As far as I can see, Obama’s agenda is:

Make America weak.
Redistribute wealth, while enriching connected Democrats.
Make America weak.
Reduce the GOP to the status of the he man woman hater’s club.
Make America weak.

Impeachment means absolutely nothing. It takes the Senate to convict.

Impeach, remove, deport!

Do you suppose Meese is unaware the Constitution means nothing to Obama, Reid and Holder? Beside that, Boehner couldn't care less...

[paratrooper82]

Unfortunately, you are “correct.” The US Senate holds the trial on any Impeachment and we all know how that will turn out!

“That’s nice, but who is going to ACTUALLY impeach him?!”

Read your Constitution. It is always the House, as was done by Clinton.

Clinton was neutered when he was impeached. He only recently is regaining any stature.

Won’t go anywhere. Congress is afraid of the tyrant.

I believe O’s plan is to bring this nation to civil war. Governments are easily reconstructed once panic sets in and the masses who have not prepared for the fall will accept any form of government to get food back on the shelves. This is a George Soros specialty.

...But the House had strong leadership back then. obama has challenged the current leadership and hasn’t lost yet ... he knows they are weak, scared senseless of him and will fold under pressure. (I surely hate to write these words, but it’s true!)

-- Won't go anywhere. Congress is afraid of the tyrant. --

Congress is afraid of accountability. As long as the president is taking action, Congress doesn't have to.

Congress is expert at pretending it is powerless, like on regulating the value of money, etc., and very much appreciates that issues of spending, regulating, and borrowing are done on the president's say so.

The US House of Representatives can IMPEACH (highly unlikely) by voting to impeach, but, the Articles of Impeachment then go to the Senate for a trial. No imagination necessary to assume the outcome here.

[DJ Frisat]

"(Texas) Rep. Steve Stockman already threatened to write and introduce Articles of Impeachment..."

Quite laudable on his part, but Boehner has already threatened to cry and wet his pants.

[laweeks]

Yeah, who . . . (waiting) . . . (crickets not only chirping, but sleeping) . . .

And, can you really impeach someone who's not eligible to even hold that office? Hmmmmm?

[Lee'sGhost]

Thank God for Texas.
